How old is your microwave?
This is where we have a little session of “true confessions.” My husband and I have been married for 6 years. We’ve been together for 10 years. We’re somewhat, well, shall we say, stubborn people. When we got together I had my microwave and he had his. It was important to him that his have a dial on it. (No, I’m not kidding.) I, on the other hand, needed my heat sensors. So…. We have two microwaves. His and hers. They are stacked on top of each other (mine is on top) in our kitchen.
Today, I read a press release that may finally move us toward a combined microwave. Amana has introduced a new microwave with convection capability. (Oooooh….. Aaaaaaaaaah……) And they’re even offering a free online cookbook! Check it out!
When the world’s first countertop microwave oven, the Amana(R) Radarange(R), debuted in 1967, it was initially viewed with skepticism but was hailed as a technological breakthrough. Now, in celebration of the microwave oven’s 40th anniversary Amana introduces the next generation of microwave cooking with a new convection microwave that offers added conveniences and practical features. Since the sixties, consumers have enjoyed saving time and energy in the kitchen. In fact, the microwave has saved Americans an estimated trillion minutes in cooking time since its introduction, allowing consumers to do other things they enjoy. Over time, the microwave gave Americans not only cooking flexibility, but an entirely new category of food items developed
solely for microwave use.Today, the microwave oven has become a standard kitchen appliance in homes across the country. A microwave oven can be found in 90 million U.S. households and research shows that 95 percent of Americans own a microwave.
