How many people don't own a microwave oven?

I've never owned one, we didn't have one as a kid so why have one as an adult

My family told me to get one, so I bought an air fryer. My family told me to get one, so I bought a sandwhich grill. Microwaves are handy, but they enable you to be your worst self... I've realized that you never truly need a microwave, it just makes reheating stuff a one step recipe.

@MartinTheFirst one step recipe? What do you mean.. And why worst self

@SW-User Like an algorithm. It's a general recipe that applies to everything, with just one step in it. You put food in and click a button lol. You worst self because it teaches you a lazy mindset in the way where you don't put the same effort into your food, and many times end up buying finished microwave meals.

@MartinTheFirst but could save you time to more productive stuff too 🫠🫠🫠🌝

@SW-User Yeah, I would have one if it fit into my life, but as you can see it's not on the top of my list of priorities. I'm really enjoying my new sandwhich grill haha. I'm roasting bread with it, crisping up hotdog buns, grilling garlic bread, grilling hotdogs, bacon, and chicken wings. I wanna try waffles and steak in it someday. There's so much you can do with a sandwhich grill that it's not meant to do. 🤤

@AdaXI We don't have an air fryer either.

We just have our wood/coal cooking stove.

It used to be my great great grandmother when it was new in 1899

@HumanEarth Hey what ever works for you my friend. I mean I've always had a microwave just for reheating stuff and my air fryer comes in for certain stuff but I know stuff usually tastes a lot better when you just cook it the good old fashioned way.

@AdaXI We are slowing going back to the old ways of living. We came very close to become Amish, but their religion was too strict for us.
