Do you use your microwave a lot?

Yeah like you I use my microwave oven mostly for heating up food. I do use it to melt cheese once in a while when I cook macaroni cheese too. Macaroni and sauce and meat is all cooked then the final stage is at a piece of cheese on top and put it in the microwave. I have used the microwave to steam egg with mince meat too. But rarely use it anymore nowadays. As my rice cooker has a steamer insert. So while hte rice is being cooked I just put the dish to on top of the steamer insert and steam it. Kill two birds with one stone. Save time, save electricity.

I use my microwave mostly in the summer time to cook tv dinners, my husband goes home to Louisiana for several months in the summer and since that leaves me alone, I see no need to cook big meals so I will just have a tv dinner in the microwave. I also use it to defrost chicken, or what ever I need in a hurry. To warn up leftovers, how did we ever live without a microwave back in the old days lol!

I am not one to use the microwave for cooking. I do defrost frozen meats in it and do occasionally heat vegetables in it. I prefer cooking on the stove and using my oven.

I always use the microwave coz nowadays in todays worls where everyone else is busy microwave just helps a lot.

I use my microwave at lunch time a lot. Usually to re-heat left overs or to cook microwave meals. I don't cook a lot in it either. But I do get a lot of use out of it re-heating things, or defrosting things.

I honestly only use my microwave to heat up water, melt something for a recipe, make microwave popcorn (my FAVORITE).. or if my coffee is too cold. I don't like the way food tastes out of the microwave. I take that back.. I do make instant potatoes in the microwave, but that's it. The boys use it daily to reheat left overs. I still prefer reheating things on the stove or in the oven. They just taste better to me. I recently put the microwave on top of my refrigerator to clear counter space, as I don't use it enough for it to be in my way! The boys are both at or slightly above 6 feet tall.. so they don't mind it being on top of the fridge. It also keeps my 5 year old from experimenting with it.

I mainly use my microwave to warm things up, but also to defrost meat and make popcorn.

i use only my microwave if i heat food but not to cook.

Actually I really dont use my microwave all that much but my kids do..Even my husband uses it more than I do come to think of it..All I use it for is to heat up my coffee or leftovers sometimes or to thaw something assuming I've forgotten to take it out early enough..

I use my microwave quite a lot to defrost, heat coffee, boil water and cook frozen foods. I have ocasionally baked cheese cupcakes in it.

I am like you, I mostly use the microwave to reheat things rather than for cooking.

Not much, we use it only when we have foods that we need to eat warm or hot, like pizza, some soup, and bread...otherwise, we don't use it. In fact there are more days that our microwave oven is not in use, than those days that we use it. But it is still necessary, and efficient. It heats faster than the ordinary oven, that's why.

i microwave alot... dont have time to cook a big maeal somedays:) hugs- DN

I use it a medium amount. I rarely have microwave meals, so I don't use it as much as many other people. So far today, I have used it to heat up pancakes.

Not a lot. Quite seldom in fact. We normally use it to reheat food occasionally only.

I use it alot. I use it to cook stuff like ramen noodes, and hot pockets.

I don't use my microwave very much. I mostly use it for re heating things. I do warm up our canned veggies in the microwave for dinner most nights though.

I use to think that I did not use mine a lot, until a couple of weeks ago when mine quit. I was so disappointed. It was a big microwave and I find myself missing it a lot now that it is gone.

there are a lot of other things you can do with your microwave I like to cook my vegetables in it as I do not need anyextra water and it just takes a short while to cook them.Also you keepmost of the vitamins in your veggies this was. It is an excellent way to cook nice fluffy rice that is not soggy or mushy. I do use it every day to save time energy and vitamins too.

not really... I only use it to reheat things or to defrost them. I believe that cooking in an oven gives the food a different taste as well as a different texture...
