we`ve ditched our microwave oven!
The other day, hubby saw a microwave oven on offer, with integrated grill, and he suggested to me that ours (old, tatty, uneconomic and very large) could do with being replaced, drawing my attention to the fact that, given that it had an integrated grill, it was really a bargain (I must add, he`s a bit of a slave to the advertising industry...)
He later added that we would, of course, never use it as a grill.
This led me to ask whether we need a microwave oven at all. How often do we use it? Hardly ever. And what we use it for, we can easily reheat on our conventional oven.
So I suggested ditching our microwave oven (which, despite still being in working order, is indeed long past its best days) and just leave it for a couple of months to see whether we really miss it. (We can still replace it if we find we do, but my bet is we won`t...)
