The saga of the microwave continued... hubby decided we need a new one after all, he didn't like having to go outside to use the smelly microwave and got tired of reheating his coffee in a pan. So maybe we'll get one today , he researched microwaves on the net , found out it is not expensive as he thought. If he thinks we'll get a cheapo little one, he has another think coming. I want a decent sized one with plenty of power and room.

my old one that quit , is 20 yrs. old . It is a big unit , used every day, mostly for hubby's reheating coffee and making oatmeal. I have used it for real cooking as well . What brand is your new one ?

Hiya LadyCook, Please don't get a little cheap microwave, I have a little cheap microwave for my apartment and it sucks worse then a Dyson vacuum.

Only thing you can do in it is to melt ice cream, warm up water and that's about it.

I didn't see your pictures before we went shopping at Sears. We went there because they were having a sale. As you can see from my picture, we got a Kenmore too . I like my black microwave because all my appliances are black. Sale price was $139.99 , not bad actually for a 2.0 cubic ft and 1200 watt. I like it because my 13x9 inch dish can fit in it.

Congrats Ladycook 1) for getting your microwave and 2) for standing your ground!

Congratulations! Lady Cook, I'm glad you purchased a nice microwave and not a piece of junk one like I have.

my micro is about ten years old. forgot who made it and to lazy to go and look. it has a convection setting as well. nine by thirteen fits great. most of my dishes are the white corning. cook , reheat freeze and serve in same pan.

i don't know what people without them do. pretty much everything i have ever asked of it . it has done. couldn't cook without it.

My Microwave is very very old and I think we are the third "owners" as it has been handed down through our church. It replaced one that was almost identical, just a little older, LOL!

We could replace it. But I don't use if for much other than the very rare defrost when I forget to take things out on time to defrost in the fridge and an occasional reheat.

I use mine to soften butter

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

SC - I'm sad for you. But at the same time, I'm glad for you. She will be coming home and allow you a lot more time to appreciate her.

I haven't looked into any dietary needs for someone with gall bladder, but I would do a little research (ask the nurses and doctors), but I would be happy I could cook lots more for her.

I lost my mom when she was pretty young, so I promote giving mom everything when possible
