Well, we finally caved in to peer pressure and bought a microwave oven. I have very little use for one, as I cook everything from scratch on the shiny stove. About the only thing I use the confounded things for is microwave popcorn, about twice a year.
But people think you live in the stone age if you don't have a microwave oven nowadays, as if it was a TV we didn't have or something.
It's not that I am being anti-technology here, I just don't like they way they cook food. I prefer browned, basted, and sauteed to pale, white and mushy, any day.
But I figure we might need the thing to heat up a bottle for Brooke someday soon, so I relented.
Just don't tell Escoffier. He would not be proud of me.

Welcome to the present, Dave!
What about leftovers? I wouldn't dream of cooking in mine, except for the odd sweet potato, but I use it almost daily for reheating things. Yes, I could reheat on the stove or in the oven, but for most things it's way faster and the results are not that noticeably different.
I'm with Alisa. Reheating in the microwave = fewer dishes, too. I'd rather do without the 60" plasma TV than a microwave. Oh, that's right I don't have the fancy TV! :)
Oops, sorry, Ingrid, that was your comment on leftovers. Well, I still agree with both of you. M
Welcome to the year 2008.
I reheat leftovers on the stove. They reheat almost as fast and much more evenly. I also eat them cold.
welcome to 1976!
Brian said what I was going to say at first, but I thought I'd offer an alternative.
