Life without a Microwave

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

I gave my microwave away. It was just too big. I don't know if I will buy a smaller one.

I wonder how life without a microwave would be. You wouldn't want to eat in a restaurant that used microwaves to cook your food, why should you settle for that at home?

These:

that and microwave popcorn. And to heat up water quick for some cocoa.

dunno, hate eating frozen food...i do like the taquitos at costco...but that's about it. usually i just warm bread in the microwave.

what about warming up leftovers, or stuff you take home in a doggie bag when you dine out?

wifey usually only eats about half her meal when we go out. always takes the rest home and nukes it for lunch the next day.

my son and his buddies are pretty partial to heating up snacks in the micro.

yeah, its useful. i'm trying it out. I would guess I would stick it in the oven, which would consume more power.

hmmm.....or fry spaghetti. hah

Its a matter of convienience over quality. no one makes great microwave meals.

get a little one with a setting that reheats foods automatically. mine knows when the food is warm and turns itself off.

It is pretty convenient for popcorn.

thawing out stuff too.

and some frozen foods that are good for microwaves. (Pizza pops, beef patties, buritos, etc.)

We only use ours for Popcorn. IMO most food reheats better with the stovetop or in the oven.

not chinese food or pasta

they are also great for heating water quick if you have top ramen or cup of noodles eaters in the house.

do you keep that with the popsicles in the basement?

Pasta can be tricky as its then easy to overcook it, but the oven works best. Chinese food same deal, the problem though is if you get anything fried in a sauce it's never gonna be the same.

lol.... they don't get popsicles. but there is a hookah pipe that I know gets fired up now and then.... and its not always tobacco in it.

What is your reaction to that?

 

[ucatchtrout]

I know where they are is my reaction to that.

They are here.

They are safe.

 

[Dumpy]

i grew up without a microwave, but they are invaluable for heating up leftovers.

Not to mention Healthy Choice dinners, which are awesome.
