I use a microwave and I have one in my house. But I also use a gas stove to cook with as well. I have used both of those for years. I think gas is cheaper then electric at times. But I like to use a gas grill outside to cook with to when its nice out.

we do have a microwave before but it broke and i did not got any new anymore for it eats up a lot of the electric bill. i mean since the microwave broke i payed a little less than the previous when the microwave was still working. since we can live without it then i didnt get one anymore. i am a single mom with four children and i need ways to save up and to hold on the budget.

I have a microwave in my house. That is very essential, and is the main way of preparing some food for me. I don't cook any thing on the stove or in the oven. I usually eat outside at the nearby restaurants. For breakfast and some late night snacks, I keep some microwaveable foodstuuf and just microwave them. Very easy, fast, and convenient.

Yes I do have a microwave oven in my apartment but it is not the most important kitchen appliance. I only use the microwave oven for reheating food and steaming eggs and brocolli. I think i am the opposite from you, I use the gas alot for cooking meat / stir fry vege and cooking soup.

We do have a microwave at home, but it almost doesn't serve any purpose other than popcorn... hehehhehehehhe... ALso, it is mainly only used for reheating. My mom doesn't like using a microwave because of the possible serious effects it could give to our body. We actually didn't buy the microwave, it was given to me by my boyfriend.... But again, I like it for my popcorn, since I am a popcorn addict.
Thank you.
Happy mylotting!

We have two microwaves. REason why is both have went out on us but miracously recovered. So we keep both just in case one gives up. I like having a microwave. If you have left overs that dont heat up real good in an oven its handy to have a microwave.

Yes, we do use microwave. Somethimes it is really usefull. Especially whenwe are in a hurry. BUt to tell the truth, I like to cook, make food without it. So, I use it mostly for warming food. But, yes it is really important to have a microwave.

I think microwave is also important in my kitchen, although I use oven more than microwave. Sometimes if time is limited I use microwave to cook food. For instance I use microwave to cook jacket potato, it just need 10 minutes in high speed. I also use microwave to cook sweet corn. It’s very fast, just need 3 minutes. So to me microwave is fast cooking equipment. In winter I also use it to heat my milk, although my husband thought it’s a little strange because I can not drink cold milk just from fridge. I also use microwave to cook packet food I bought from supermarket.

Hi,
I do have a microwave at home. Last time I always use it
But nowadays I try to use it less because many 'News'
mentioned that microwave is not good for health.
I always use it ti=o heat up food, Microwave can perform
this task in minutes or even seconds. I also used it to
defrost food...it is very convenient.
For cooking, I prefer to use gas stove.
Thanks and Cheers!
