I agree. It is so helpful to have all that power,
and the ability to cut it back if necessary. We
also have a setting in ours that allows us to
reheat food so that it doesn't get hard or dried
out or anything, but it just knows how much to
heat the food with some kind of sensor thing in there. We absolutely love it.

anything less. I often use lower power settings.
I wonder if people who don't really like
microwaves might not be using power settings to
their advantages. -----Original Message-----

It's useful. I can boil water in 2 minutes, and
on dialysis mornings the time savings makes it
possible to do more before the ride shows up.
This one is on its last legs. It's got multiple
problems, but I like having the 1800 watts to
work with. Sent from my HAL 9000 in transit to

an Oster JE835WW02, and it's too old to have
anything newer than membrane buttons. I've had
it marked with Velcro. I'm going to have to
replace it soon enough, as it's got a rusted out
patch where the wheels for the carousel get hung
up. I'll probably go with the one mentioned here
recently, as I prefer buttons to dealing with a

Preferred cooking methods Hey Nicole!! Curious
minds would like to know what your microwave is
please? 1,900 watts, is that a professional
restaurant size microwave, or is that for the
normal home? Now for the biggest and toughest
question, how is it accessible? Is it via a
brailed over lay, or is it voice output, and or
does it have actual physical touchable buttons
on it. Please spill your secrets. SMILES. Ron

cooking methods I cook with pretty much I can --
I don't have an instapot, but I've got a
standard pressure cooker, 5 crock pots of
different sizes, 2 clambshell grills plus a
counter top normal grill, a big toaster oven, 3
electric skillets, a rice cooker and 2 bread
machines, a Kitchen aid stand mixer, a 1900 watt
microwave oven, a tea machine, a coffee pot, an
electric can opener, a toaster, different scales
and meat probes and all kinds of pans and deep
dishes and griddles. I cook on stovetop, in the
oven, in the microwave, and even outside if
needed. My utensil jar is an old 4 quart
removable crock. There are 8 cutting boards,
including a round one exclusively for pizza, and
the two big ones, one of which is for rolling
out dough, and the other one is a Boos Block
free standing butcher block So there's plenty of
time and place to chop or otherwise cut
something. For big drinks I have a few gallon
jugs around and a glass jug too, while for
bigger drinks, especially hot ones, I've got a
40 cup percolating coffee urn. (Never use it for
coffee) So I like a *lot* of styles. Sent from

Preferred cooking methods Hi, Johna. Here's the
link to the grips and hotpad combo. I did a
search of the mall and read through the results.
This was the only one with "thin" in its
description.
