[quote=Anonymous]Here are things I use the microwave for that would be annoying or impossible to do without:

Heat a cookie or brownie for dessert so I can have with ice cream.

Defrost certain things from the freezer before cooking them on the stove top or in the oven, to speed it up (I make burritos and freeze them often, and they would take forever in the oven alone because they are dense -- a few minutes in the microwave softens them through to the middle and then I can finish in the oven).

To reheat my tea when I make it, forget about it, and then still want to drink it. I do this at least twice a week.

To melt butter for baking. Yes I can do this on the stove but it's much faster in the microwave with identical results.

It's like a clothes dryer. I have ways to dry clothes without our dryer and often I do that anyway because the heat of the dryer isn't ideal for a lot of things. But when I need a piece of clothing dried quickly for some reason, the dryer is a very useful convenience appliance.[/quote]
