Smokin’

Nearly two weeks ago I was defrosting ground beef in the microwave and at 19 seconds left smoke poured out of the top.

It took it 7 plus years but we finally killed the microwave without really trying. So I thought why not try to live without one. See how long I could go.

I didn’t think it would be hard, I tend to use the microwave to defrost, heat up, melt butter and make oatmeal.

The first week seemed the hardest, remembering that I would have to add about 30 minutes to heat up food wasn’t easy. The other problem being what can and can’t you heat up in the oven without killing it.

Week two I remembered aluminum foil, which has helped the warming up process a lot.

However I’m still not 100% comfortable without the microwave. But I will continue trying. I may even attempt making oatmeal on the stove (I’m sure it’s possible).
