I've been wanting to get a convention microwave oven for a few years. My microwave is a very old Quasar (like pre divorce old ... which makes it well over 20 years old) and while it's still functional, it's only 500 watts. Consequently, I primarily use it for steaming vegetables, "baked" potatoes, or reheating.
While I frequently would like to cook something in the oven, I have a very hard time justifying doing so for one person. And I don't exactly trust Tsuki with a hot oven yet. She's just too curious. So ... I primarily cook food on the stove or in a slow cooker.
While I have a hard time justifying purchases of appliances or other biggish ticket items when what I have is still functional, I'm not quite so frugal when my birthday or Christmas rolls around. After all ... one SHOULD get birthday and Christmas presents ... even if the gift giver is yourself. So, once or twice a year, I want to treat myself.
Has anyone purchased a convention microwave? If so, what do you like about it and how are you using it?
