Master  2500   Crab Cake City |  Subject: microwaveI recently moved and my new house did not have a microwave in the kitchen and I will have to buy one at some point. I was recently thinking about my diet and how most of the food I eat does not need to be cooked in a microwave and alot of my food is lean meat and veggies, etc. With that being said, how many of you dont have a microwave or dont use one? I was thinking about not buying one and using it as a challenge to stay on course with my healthy eating habits. |

Elite 3471   Evergreen, CO | Subject: RE: microwave I got rid of mine a while ago after reading a few articles about how microwaving destroys the food. Haven't missed it at all. If I forget to thaw something for dinner I just boil fish/chicken in the vacuum sealed bags they come in until they're soft, or sautee the meat slowly. Hubby throws the frozen fish/hamburger patties right on the grill. Steaming/sauteeing veggies/rice doesn't take much longer than nuking them. Pressure cookers are fast, too. I bet you won't miss your microwave, either! |

Veteran 869 Stevens Point, Wisconsin | Subject: RE: microwave That might not be a bad idea. I hardly ever use my microwave, even when I was eating unhealthy. I have a small 700W microwave. It's not big enough or powerful enough to cook most things, so I don't use it often. It does come in handy for some things though (popcorn, heating a tortilla, leftovers, etc.)

Extreme Veteran 554 Maryland | Subject: RE: microwave I have had one for 5 years now and have only used it maybe 4 or 5 times. Prefer other methods of cooking besides nuking my food to death. |

Master 2264 Sunbury, Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: microwave A microwave can still be a handy tool for prep work even when doing whole food cooking. You don't have to throw a boxed meal in it. I use mine to heat water to make my iced tea, for one thing. Careful going down the road of eliminating appliances too rashly. You end up like this guy. |
