I know a few people who don't have a microwave. I am not one of those people. I use mine regularly--reheating leftovers, making popcorn, steaming frozen vegetables, etc. But of course there are certain things that I'm happy to take the longer route of firing up the conventional oven for like pizza. Pizza is just not worth it's weight in dough when heated in a microwave.
For years my microwave been my secret kitchen assistant that I guiltily yet constantly used, but now, I'm feeling green and like gloating! The truth is, microwaves are up to 75% more energy efficient than baking in the oven! Who knew the microwave was such a good alternative. Who knew all those years I thought I was being lazy I was actually really thinking of the environment. . .
