I thank you Dee for the thoughts on microwaving. I just bought a new Black & Decker large size toaster oven (convection) and it's not as great as it was advertised to be, but it saves on heating the big oven sometimes. It even fits a 12" pizza in it! Nothing's perfect. I use my oven most days for cooking, and just got a new (Cuisineart) bread maker as the old one bellied-up. Hmmm. there'a a loaf of "granola bread" downstairs cooking in it now.

You're gonna love this, Bonnie ... it's somewhere around 80 degrees here for the second day in a row and I'm just floppin' around and panting. No oven stuff here, either!

With hot TX summers I'm not turning on my oven.

I seem to recall hysteria over slow cookers aka crock pots too. Well maybe not hysteria per... se.. however that is spelled. I don't remember right now. :-)

Ah, I think you've nailed it, John. The microwave *complements* the work of the range and oven. Each of them are better for some things than the other.

I love my microwave and I'll happily throttle anyone who tries to take it away from me. When I say 'it' I do of course mean the umpteenth in a thirty-five year succession of the things. I prefer green vegetables done in the nuke, and baked potatoes of course. Otherwise it's a heat-and-run device for me, acting as an able assistant to the classic range and oven.

Love the vinegar cleaning tip, Dee, thanks!
