beatlesfan1, - I appreciate & still use my good old cast iron skillet; especially for baking cornbread. However the microwave comes in very handy & useful at times.

A friend of mine got rid of his microwave. He refuses to eat or drink anything heated with one because he's convinced that poisons it and causes cancer. Some people believe everything they read on the internet. What a sad way to live.

We bought our first microwave in 1981 at a home show. It was top of the line and was over $1,000 Cdn. We gave it away in 2009 and it still worked great.

I grew up before microwaves were common household appliances, yet I don't know what I'd do without mine now.

Dragon.jon, oh I remember it well! And the first visual phone, you could see the person you were talking to (I thought who would want that! What if you were in your pj's!)

RockNRollMama82, I swore I would never buy a microwave oven. My husband bought our first and now like most of us I wouldn't want to be without!

We bought our first Amana radar range with money from our Vegas honeymoon in 1978. I always burned leftovers on the stove, I’ve saved thousands of dollars in food with our microwaves since then.

freegal1776, investigations show that microwaved food has no life force. this has been known since the 70s, well before the internet, published in science journals. i use mine only sparingly

unfortunately, I have discovered how to make amazing chocolate cake in a cup using my microwave.

RockNRollMama82, I gave away my microwave oven. Now I use my air fryer and Instapot cooker.

Shera090818, I will forever be indebted to him! cooking popcorn in oil was special treat, but now 2-4 min in a microwave I am a hero!
Bear
Remember though how fun it was doing the jiffy pop? Shakin on that butter salt they used to sell?

Guillermo
Cha Cha, no offense meant dear heart.. but you may be the worst chef going today??
Guillermo
SQinfoNUTS, yeah... but that's pretty much all it can do besides defrost things.. nobody's Granny ever cooked the family's favorite dish in a RadaRange..
