I'm not a chef nor am I lazy nor am I a chef (and neither are you  :roll: ). I commute 2 hours each way. My kids can quickly microwave leftovers I spent hours cooking over the weekend a lot safer than they could by using my gas stove top. Happy now?[/quote]

Teach your latchkey kids to use a toaster oven.[/quote]

Really? Can you send me instructions on how to heat up chili or stew in a toaster?[/quote]

IT's just like using a real oven: https://traditionalcookingschool.com/food-preparation/reheating-foods-without-a-microwave/

Super simple. [/quote]

Wait so now we are back to the stove? I'm confused. I thought you wanted me to teach my "latchkey kids" how to use a toaster.

[/quote]

I believe they said “Teach your latchkey kids to use a toaster [b]oven[/b] .”[/quote]

Why would I want another giant appliance on the counter when the one I already have works just fine? Make it make sense. [/quote]

Can't make toast in a microwave.

:lol:

you walked into that one!

:lol:[/quote]

I have a toaster. I do not have a toaster oven. Not sure it's the get you think it is.
[/quote]

So, you have a toaster AND a microwave and you think that saves you counterspace over having a toaster oven?

Do you put chili in your toaster?

:lol:[/quote]

Of course, I have a toaster. And I dont keep it on the counter. I know!!! It blows your mind, doesn't it?

You are yet to explain to me why you made the dumb suggestion totally unsolicited in the first place. [/quote]

Congratulations on owning a toaster? I guess? [/quote]

Congratulations on making suggestions to people that never asked for them and then not being able to explain why you made them in the first place.[/quote]

I'm the OP and my original point was that some people really get upset when they find out I don't have a microwave, and I genuinely wanted to know if people found legitimate uses for their microwaves. I could get a microwave and I'm open to ideas.

So far, what I've encountered is a lot of triggered weirdos who feel very angry that I don't have a microwave, someone who wants to *checks notes* put chili in a toaster (I do not recommend) and one person who has genuinely replied that she finds post-work time stressful because of her long commute and being able to reheat something in five minutes is worth it. She's been interesting to hear from, and the rest of you are being weird. [/quote]

I see you came back with more smugness and condescension. Apparently, bless your heart, you're just not smart enough to figure out that since millions upon millions of people own them, they find excellent uses for them. I suggest Google next time. [/quote]

Millions and millions of people figure out how to get on a plane with two kids without crowd-sourcing that, but it's a topic on DCUM pretty much every other week.

OP -- I'm with you. Don't own a microwave and don't miss it. I never got the joy in reheating one family's member's meal at a time. Here you go Bobby Sue! Leroy, you need to wait your turn. Microwave only holds one plate at a time.[/quote]
