Back In The Zapping Game

Remember my microwave issues? We've only been without one for two weeks, although it feels like a lot longer than that to me. I'm pleased to announce that yesterday an installer came and put in our new one.

It has been wonderful to be able to cook and heat things with the push of a button. This morning I had oatmeal, and since I didn't cook it on the stove I didn't have to worry about anything sticking to the pan. Heating up leftover coffee is a piece of cake, and making hot water for tea is seamless. I haven't prepared a real meal yet, but look forward to turning on the cooktop light to illuminate the stove.

    1. If there's such a thing as a gas-powered microwave I haven't heard of it.

    2. :) Not that I know of. But there are gas powered air conditioners. Instead of an electric motor to run the compressor, they have a natural gas engine.

  3. Push button cooking! Nice and easy. Nice to hear you got back your microwave capacity.

  4. There's nothing like not having something for a period of time to make us realize how much we've come to depend on it.

  5. What a relief! We had a dude install ours, as well. He was strong and tall. We couldn't have lifted it!

    1. I think the professional installation was money VERY well spent :-)

  6. I can't believe there was a time, there was no microwave in my life. Still, my mom, who lives in India don't have one. Cannot convince her to have one;(

    1. I think until you experience the convenience of push-button cooking and heating you don't know what you're missing.

    1. There are definitely some things that cook/heat better on the stove than in the microwave, which is probably a molecular structure issue.

  8. Our microwave also sits above our cooktop providing light and ventilation. It's been that way for 40 years here because there is no other space for it in the kitchen.
