Donna ( our past pioneer woman)  mentioned getting a new microwave installed.  So I'm wondering how often you all use your microwave and what you use it for mainly...  and do you microwave your sponges in it, how often does something really go biserk in your microwave and make a horrendous mess , is it builit in or a counter model?  ETC... meaning whatever else you want to say or ask....  hahahahaha

As for me: I have a counter top model.  I do not cook meals in it and I do not like to thaw food in it either.  I use it to heat up leftovers, melt chocolate and butter, to reheat tea or coffee gone cold, and that's about it. My mom would cook meat and everything in it.. she loved it.  I use it a few times a day, would not like to be without it as I think it's nice to heat my tea in it and saves energy.    My microwave " goes biserk" when dh is using it.  I was watching a TV program the other night and he wanted to surprise me and bring down some hot soup that I had made for us (creamy veggie soup).   When I popped upstairs on the commercial, he was up to his neck in towels, paper towels, sponges and milky crap literally all over the place, it was hard to find the microwave.  No soup left that night.  I did help him clean uup the mess as when he does, I usually end up with 2 days of laundry...  LOL    Oh and I do disenfect my kitchen sponges in it,, also put them in the dishwasher at night.
