Our microwave gets constant use. Reading your article gave me even more ways to use it. I especially like cooking individual servings of vegetables in the microwave…no pots to wash! 🙂

This triggered memories. I remember reading about microwaves ovens in the mid 1960s and telling my mother about the invention that we’ll probably see someday. My wife and I bought our first one in 1981, when we started living on Okinawa. Huge thing, cost almost $1000, but so useful for preparing food in the little apartment where we lived. Wonderful post. Cheers
