We’ve always had a microwave. From our first apartment that had three total rooms (plus a bathroom) to our huge house that we recently sold. Now, in our new, smaller home, there is no microwave. My last one was an over-the-stove built in deal so I couldn’t bring it with me. I think I knew there wasn’t a microwave, but I figured we just buy one after we got moved in…except we didn’t. To put one over the stove would require some work. There are cabinets there and they would need to be moved and we would have to do some wiring and it just seems like a lot of work right now plus the actual cost of the microwave. We talked about a counter top one, but counter space is very limited and I didn’t want another object taking up room on the counter (along with the Keurig
- I can make hot water for drinks in the Keurig
- I heat stuff up on the stove (bonus – if there’s still some leftover, it can be reheated on the stove again. Can’t do that with a microwave!).
- It forces me to meal plan – no defrosting at the last minute.
- We use this Hamilton Beach Toaster Oven
That’s not to say we won’t get one in the future, but for now, it works for me.
What about you?
