Spouse set up a package of frozen corn to go in the microwave,

set the timer for 7 1/2 minutes,

closed the door and pushed start.

 

Came back 10 minutes later and ...

 

Guess what ...

We normally have a couple of paper towels covering the glass turntable in the microwave.

The paper towels were scorched, and the glass plate was HOT !!!

I hope I don't have to replace the microwave. We let it cool for 1/2 hour, and it seems to be working.

Steaming veggies in the microwave takes all of 2-3 minutes.

The most I've done a bag of corn for was 5 minutes. And that was what the bag said to do it for.

I went to heat something and set it for 30 instead of 3. The smell of burnt whatever caught my attention.
Took a lot of baking soda to get the stench out.


But it still works.

Vinegar will get burnt smell out also. I burned popcorn once and put a cup of vinegar and ran it until it was boiling and it took the burn smell out.

Half of a lemon in a cup of water will work too.

So the corn was on top of the microwave and the only thing cooked was the paper towel inside?

Sounds like spouse shouldn't be alone in the kitchen.

When DH burned a sweet potato, it took FOREVER to get rid of the smell.

I don't like my microwave. Maybe I should burn something in it. It isn't that old.

 It's just not as big as the one it replaced and the light doesn't come on when I open the door. It only comes on when it's running. Silly, but it bugs me.

 OH I had one like that!  I left it behind and the ex is welcome to it.  Who on earth would design a microwave that doesn't light up unless it's cooking?  Terrible design.

Microwaves are so inexpensive I could just go out and buy another but I don't want to be wasteful.

When our old microwave gave up the ghost we went for about 3 months without one. Didn't really miss it.

We have a new one, well it's about 6 months old now. I don't know. I like having one. But proved to ourselves that we could live without it.

The only problem we would have if we got rid of it is we wouldn't know where to put the cereal boxes. LOL..

I have one of those over the stove mounted ones. I like it. But I use my toaster oven way more than the microwave. I couldn't live without my toaster oven. Well I could but my utilities would probably go way up because then I'd have to heat my real oven every time I wanted to heat something up.

We have an old toaster oven around here somewhere. We use to use it when camping. And it would heat that little pop up camper in no time.

I found a nice toaster/ convection oven I like. It's about $200. I might get it for myself for my birthday.

Your campsite has a hook-up. Electric, water, sewer.

At least, the nice ones do.wink

Electric heat is great, when you're not paying extra for the electricity.

Camping can be the best if done right.

I can tell you one thing, I will NEVER camp in the middle of Florida in a pop up again, ever. Good night in the morning! talk about a steam bath in a tin can! That was miserable.

But we still had fun!
