[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a handful of things that can only REALLY effectively be heated up in a microwave (like Factor meals, we found out), but heating things on the stovetop or oven isn't actually all that hard, and usually winds up with a better result. You can definitely heat things very well in a microwave, but it usually requires at least as much care (figuring out the proper time and setting) as it does figuring out how to do it on the stovetop or oven.

Popcorn isn't actually very hard to make on a stovetop (in fact it's super easy and takes like 30 seconds longer than doing it in a microwave)...

We used to have a microwave, we just almost never used it.

What do you think about yours?[/quote]

Do you want a congratulations? I did not have a garbage disposal or a dishwasher for 15 years. Living without a microwave is not an anomaly. [/quote]

Interesting - I kinda agree with you and note that anyone with a septic system can’t use them, but let’s take this to the thread about garbage disposal chat!

Statistically, not having a microwave IS an anomaly, tho.[/quote]

I did not have a septic system,
I lived in nyc where many people don’t have disposals. Prior to that I lived in Europe and had no dishwasher, microwave or disposal and was lucky enough to have a separate washer and dryer instead of a combo unit. And prior to that, I lived in Hong Kong, where it’s common not to have a dishwasher, disposal or microwave because everyone has live in help who does all that for you. There were days I never went into my own kitchen. The world is bigger than your neighborhood full of microwave kitchens.
