ARGH NO THE HOUSE I'M MOVING INTO IS DEVOID OF A MICROWAVE DEVICE HOWEVER WILL I COPE?!
Microwaves are the devil. I'm anti-microwave.
Sure, they save power. And they're quick. And you can easily re-heat frozen food.
But what they do to food is terrible. (in most circumstances, microwaved popcorn is fine) Like pies. Pies should be oven cooked. And what's with those microwave dinners. Someone evil is trying to make us a packaged society. Learn how to cook! I did.
Microwaves also make me sick. One time I microwaved a mince pie which was previously PACKAGED and when I got it out after a mere 1minutesometrout it was a watery slude with tough meat and some seeping jelly meat.
If I'm ever insane enough to buy packaged pie I now know to use the oven.
AND they talk to me at night. Tell me all kinds of whacko commands that I'd probably never follow unless I was stoned enough.:mad:
Oh, and just in case all my points are invalid, pressing your head to the microwave while it's cooking causes prostate cancer where oven just burn yer skin off!
I wish I was cool enough to say that:eep:
Here's an experiment:
melt spreadable butter in the microwave until it is liquid
let it set
sprinkle it with 100's&1000's
eat
You will probably melt it to the floor.
You didn't move to Sunnyvale did you?
The Spider-People are obviously behind this.
It's the only logical explanation (and the only thing in the poll that makes any sense).
I voted For Superman, 'cause Superman is teh roxxor :)
Microwaves do thier job by bombarding food with microwave radiation, which in essence vaporises water (among other nasty molecular reactions with various metals :)), so it doesn't actually cook anything, it just kinda boils it. You can see this easily if you huck a stale piece of bread in there for 20 seconds or so -> It goes in dry to the touch and comes out moist and warm after the reaction sucks all the humidity that's left right out of it. The edges are far warmer than the center due to the fact that the microwaves are hitting it from the outside inwards.
How, then, can you stop your food from liquifing? When heating already moist foods spread it out to the edges of your dish leaving a hole in the center and cook in short bursts, stir and spread in between 45-60 second intervals.
/*ends lame microwave cooking lesson*
My family survived without a microwave for over a decade. You eveuntually get used to it. You could buy one-they're pretty cheap now these days.
I don't own a microwave, I don't need one. :) Can't remember when I used even a normal oven last time. Must be weeks ago when I baked some bread.
I like microwaves, they are good for thawing things. And melting hotchocolate for icecream ;)
If there was a God, the microwave would be a gift from it.
Funny you saying that, how microwaves send out BOILING HOT BEAMS OF EVIL DEATH.Quote:

I rest my case.
The Sun sends out BOILING HOT BEAMS OF EVIL DEATH, but who cares, eh? :D
toaster oven is your friend
How did the monkey people survive?
Yes, but the sun is millions of miles away, and the people who get skin cancer still care.Quote:

Having a microwave is like having the sun in your house, it'll kill you, KILL YOU DEAD.
Not that we'll care, good point.
I love my microwave. If I had to be without one starting now...my head would explode. Although I also like my regular oven, they are each used for different purposes.
My microwave really DOES go ping! :D
My heart bleeds for you.
So does my friend's...and its KNOB OPERATED!:p
I remember about 2 years ago our microwave broke and we didn't have one for about 2 months. In that two months I next-to-never ate.
Life without the microwave BITES!
Buy a freaking microwave, ya goon. Around here you can get a small new one for $30 or a used one from Choc for like $5.
I love the microwave, I've prepared a ton of my meals in that. pizza rolls, popcorn, cold pizza, all kinds of stuff.
My grandmother makes toast in the microwave. :yuck:
Look, there is nothing you can do with a microwave that you can't do with an oven or a grill that takes a little longer and tastes a lot better.
Except those Microwave Chips, but they don't count as they're like cardboard.
Lazy, lazy people.
In honor of the microwave, I have decided to post the classic song by the Polo Ponys: POPCORN!

Microwaves own. Buy one or lease one.
I use mine to heat sauce that I have prepared in bulk. After dinner is made, I just dump sauce on it, put in the microwave for 20 secs. Bing!
Soon we will be able to microwave babies and they will ping out 15 years old :'(
Mwhahahaha, i shall take over the world, today Microwaves, tommorrow Fridges!
And yesterday, toasters!
Who needs a microwave when you can make instant noodles or couscous? :p I can't think of when I last used a microwave, actually.
I just got a new microwave. Its soooo powerful. Like 4 times stronger than my already strong microwave. But, the ringer is so quiet on this one :( my old one would be able to hear if all of China was punching you in the face at the same time.
Mandee: $30 in real money is over seventy bucks! ugh.
IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES IT'S GONNA GO 'PING!' :D
When I was a baby I put my kitty in the microwave >_>
I hardly use them anymore, except to heat up hot cocoa. Poor Nicky.
So did you move to Sunnyvale? Having no microwave sound like a sunnyvale sorta thing.
