No More Microwave!  

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I had a fire in the microwave about a month ago and haven't dared to use it (I was cooking bacon and didn't adjust for the amount I had and it caught on fire). I cleaned it out and put it in the basement. DH talked about getting another one, a bigger one but I just kept putting it off.

So we've successfully gone a month without using one at all, so I think it's safe to say that we don't need it . I've been wanting not to use it but have been hesitant. It freed up a lot of space.

No one complains any more about food having a weird texture and tasting funny, lol!! Yes, food tastes a lot better and no, I amazingly haven't found things take any longer to cook. More often now I will make big batches of food to freeze and just heat them up, which doesn't take long if I took it out of the freezer soon enough.

We are moving in a couple weeks, and when we designed our kitchen, we went microwave free. We have one here, but I only use it on the rare occasion I forget to put the ice cream out on the counter a little early to thaw it. Otherwise I can't stand using it. I'm excited about not having one at all in my house.

I freecycled mine about 3 weeks ago and have only had a couple times where I wanted to use it but found an alternative instead.

Love having the counter space.
