Microwave oven

Do you have one?
DO you use it?
often?

For some reason it was one of the first things i replaced when i bought my house, i guess because the other one ddin't work and it was a cheap replacement, but i'm about to remod my kitchen and can't see why to install one. It's not like it's any value added to the kitchen

never liked using them, i think they ruin the taste and texture of food, and i love food. Iprolly used mine twice in the last year to pop popcorn, other than that it just sucks energy for the clock

Toaster oven (bowing)

Only to toast sandwiches occasionally 

Microwaves suck, in my opinion. Like you said, ruins the texture of foods.

I do use a toaster oven about 3-4 nights a week. I use it to cook my chicken breast it, and its perfect. Throw it in that bad larry after working out, and let it cook while I'm showering...perfecto

i also use the toaster over almost everyday.  the microwave ruins the food. 

well, if it ever matters to someone other than me, i guess they can go fork out the 60$ for a counter top edition, i'm not putting one of those big klunky goofy looking things in my new kitchen

I've never liked them, well except maybe when i was a kid and they were a new thing

remember the company that made the microwavable burger w/bun, french fries, and milkshake?

also, as i've updated this house, i try to eliminate electronics that draw a charge 24/7 even when there's no need for it. Put kill switches in all the rooms that i've re-run the electric etc

I'm sure it doesn't sound like much, but that micro sucks power like a mofo all the time, and for what? two bags of popcorn all year?

My boarders do use it, but they can learn to do without. it's normally just a go to place to hide their leftovers so the 150 lb dog don't jump up and help himself

Still the best way to reheat leftovers  Gotta have it.

 So are you gonna fire up a wood burning stove or something to reheat something?

Because of the energy drain of a clock?...... You realize those savings are gone as soon as you fire up the oven?

Are you amish?

almost

Maybe it's some mental hangup against microwaves, but i never have used them. I'm perfectly fine eating leftovers cold. People always look at me like i'm uncivilized when i tell them multiple times i am ok eating it cold and no i don't want to nuke it

SO i don't use them, they are an energy drain, and i think they look klunky and dumb. my kitchen sq ft. isn't huge, so i'm gonna leave it out

Fried hates BEE's lifestyle

i can dig the cut of his jib, as well

So a toaster oven looks better cosmetically than a microwave?

Every time I see a Toaster Oven all I see is a bunch of crumbs and shit.

With a Microwave, can just wipe it down and close the door.

If you guys are into Hygiene at all............. the microwave is easier to clean.

all bags are "ready steam"............. the "magical" ready steam bags are a rip off.  Can put a bag of anything in the microwave and it steams.

Or pour it into a bowl and cover with saran wrap.

 

With a little butter.

The magical "ready steam" bags

It's moisture containment.

Fried is ole skool as fuck but really questioning microwave ovens???

 

Fried, Toaster Ovens are hands-down better. I don't use my for toast, obviously, so theres no crumbs. It's a mini fucking oven....things great.

You ever have pizza reheated in a microwave? Compare that to a toaster over......honestly no contest. Can you cook chicken breast in a microwave... Nope.... No contest, imo

And im not sure that putting a frozen veggi bag, that Isn't designed with vents, is such a good idea

I think for what you pay for a micr wave and then what you get out of it, it is worth the value...

I have a pretty big kitchen and alot of space under cabinets for appliances of that size... so for me having that and other appliances is very convenient...  I could see if you have limited space and need to pick and choose what you had room for that microwave may not be on your priority of appliance....

I use the microwave not only to reheat food, but often times to boil water quickly... 

If you think about the actual science  behind the microwave oven, boiling water is actually what it is for... not for cooking...

  What?  Are you 1/4  Amish?  Making your own steam bags?  Pick 'em fresh,  put in a freeze fresh zip poc,  ice them until your ready, then nuke 'em?     Magic is where it's at.....
