Thursday, June 8, 2006 - Celebrating an Anniversary |
I'm happy to announce that it has been one year since we ditched our microwave! Yahoo! Last spring my husband and I read about the damage using a microwave can do to your health, and we decided we wouldn't use it anymore. We bought an awesome toaster oven
to replace it. I find that I do not even miss our microwave. Here's
what you have to watch out for if you are looking to switch from a
microwave to toaster oven:
- You can't just reach into a toaster oven and pull a dish out without potholders!
- Be sure to allow enough time to heat up your food. For us,
something that would have taken one minute in a microwave takes about 8
or 9 minutes in a toaster oven. Be honest. A few extra minutes is not
that big of a deal. Just plan ahead.
- If you were used to keeping your microwave higher than
counter-top level, and you want to put your toaster oven in the exact
spot your microwave was in, watch out! Those toaster oven doors open
down rather than to the side, and it is easy to burn your arm on the
door. Trust me on that one. This is experience talkin'.
- Be sure you buy an oven that is large enough to hold the dishes you normally would want to heat things up in.
- Related tip: no PLASTIC! Does this even need to be said?!?
Happy re-heating and blessings!

I have been amazed at all that can be cooked in a toaster oven - I do love mine.
I do have a small microwave and have never really thought about the dangers lerking in them. Thanks for the link - will check it out.
