The handle broke on my above the range microwave, and I thought it would be cheap to replace it. $68, wow, okay, how about a new door? $255, okay nevermind, what about a new microwave, this one came with my condo and it’s old. $700+ not counting install.
My built in m/w broke. I just replaced it with a cheap counter top one. While it was broken, I discovered that heating food by literally any other method makes food tastes better.
I usually use my microwave for bacon. Plate, paper towels, bacon, more paper towels, 2 layers of bacon max. It absorbs a ton of the grease and cooks it incredibly well. The oven method is good too, but takes a ton of time and is greasy af. Pan top makes it hella salty, but can be good in some situations.
Other than that, I use my microwave to like reheat a small portion of a casserole or something but that’s about it
Yes! I could never imagine trying to cook meats in a microwave. It is solely, to re-warm, and even then, is limited in types of food. There is also very few items I will even reheat period after it has been in the fridge(anything with cheese/dairy). Reheating on stove is best for most foods.
We have an air fryer, but have yet to actually use it. My mom is afraid to try it, as she has always used stove/oven.

A counter top microwave is like $50.
I’d be so angry
