I don't know why I replaced my old microwave when the switch bit the dust.
I used to use it to heat up milk to make hot cocoa. I have baked potatoes
in it. I tend to make a few servings of oatmeal at a time and then nuke the
leftovers. If/when this one dies, I think that I will enjoy the extra
counter space.
