Aside from thawing meat, preparing frozen meals, and using a glass of water to reheat food for a first-day taste, the microwave doesn't get much use in many homes today.

WTF..

Yeah no use at all.

    I reheat previous days' food all the time. I must be doing something wrong.

    Depends on your cooking and shopping habits I guess. I rarely thaw meat. I rarely eat frozen meals, and when I do, they are usually the type that can be prepared in the oven. My toaster oven is the device that gets 90% of the use. My microwave can go weeks at a time without being used.

    I'm not working right now and find that I'd rather spend the extra 5 minutes to use the oven or stove for most things. When i had an air fryer, it got used way more than the microwave. Microwave will probably see a little more action when i go back to work next month.

    Man, the countertop convection oven has been a game changer for us.

    Use it pretty much every meal, has really cut down on using the oven so less heat in kitchen in the summer, and I'm sure it's made a dent in the electric bill (or maybe it's a wash because we use it so much more).
