I put this baby in the divorce decree.

I'm shopping for a new LCD tv and have spent far too much time reading product reviews lately. You gotta wonder sometimes if some people make a living at this...or at least I wondered it as my chicken pot pie was doing its time in my eight year old microwave. I have used this thing religiously since the smart guy at circuit city gave me a killer demo on this waaay back in the 90's, explaining to me how it A)generally won't burn food like a regular oven could (timed cooking only), B)can't be accidentally left on (timed cooking only), C)uses less electricity when compared to a standard electric range for the same job since it doesn't have to heat such a large space & is convection, and D)doesn't heat up my kitchen while cooking. Oh. And it is a microwave. A nice, large microwave with a turntable and two different elevated cooking racks and a removable, baked-enamel platter for cleaning. I never did convince my wife that using this appliance was better than firing up the oven for smaller things like casseroles, broiling hamburgers, pizzas, pot pies, cookies on a smaller sheet, baked potatoes. And for all I know she's still firing up the oven to bake cookies. I know that when I walked out the other day with this thing under my arm after realizing I don't need an oven in my new kitchen (sorry baby, read the divorce agreement you signed) she went out and bought another one the same day.
