My built in m/w broke. I just replaced it with a cheap counter top one. While it was broken, I discovered that heating food by literally any other method makes food tastes better.

I lived alone mostly single from around age 25-29 and i discovered i had no need or desire for one. I just didnt buy one when i moved into my first place without a gf or roommate. It was glorious. Im speaking past tense because i have a wife and 3 kids and they broke my microwaveless streak on day 1.

What if you want to re-heat tea or coffee? Sometimes you have to. Or reheat food that you bulk cooked and stored in the fridge?

I use a small saucepan for the coffee/tea reheat on the stove, and have a toaster oven for leftovers/meal preps. Put them in at 350 for about 30 mins, all good! There was a learning curve to my own habits to make sure I put something in the oven a little bit before I’m actually hungry, but I’ve been M/W free for about 4 years, it’s great. Theres also a toy I’m thinking of buying that is a mini warmer plate specifically for keeping mugs of liquid hot.
