Welp, my electromagnetic field finally overwhelmed the microwave. We went out and bought a new one. The new microwave must have some sort of a force field because my electromagnetic field has no effect on it.
You may remember a a couple of weeks ago, when I opened the door to the microwave, the turntable would rotate. The new microwave must be shielded because the turntable doesn't turn when I open the door. Monet no longer gets a teacup ride.
Monet and I played with some of the features of the new Chef Mike. We boiled a cup of water, used the reheat function to reheat a plate of food, played with the time feature (it has a cute little song when the countdown is done), defrosted chicken, cooked bacon, tried to soft boil an egg (no shell, I was close and it needed a little more time but I got impatient and gave it a lot more time so hard boiled. Still good.)
No Monets were harmed in the making of this post.
It's surprising how much joy new appliances bring!
ReplyDeleteAnd how much it is missed when it doesn't work
DeleteA fun and quirky post! Loved the humor around electromagnetic fields and “Chef Mike.” The experiments with the new microwave were amusing, especially the egg mishap. Glad Monet’s teacup rides are safe now!
ReplyDeleteMonet has nothing to worry about
DeleteJust wait.....that cute little song is going to turn into a demonic serenade that will make you want to run into traffic! (our washer/dryer has a 'cute little song'.......)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new device of the devil! 😂😂😂😂

DeleteWell you already played with alot more features on your microwave than i have on my 4yr old microwave... I set the time and push start... none of the other features get used...lol One year early into our marriage we needed a microwave so used the money for our Anniversary and bought a red one! red... i would never want a red microwave but red is romantic! lol Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteIf the microwave came in Cobalt Blue, Royal Blue, or Sapphire, I'd buy it in a heartbeat no matter the features
DeleteHa!!! Online again! Weee, saw a docu on a super-microwave that can do anything!!!! I think one time we have but ONE thingy for cooking!
ReplyDeleteI'd be lost without Chef Mike
DeleteI am a child at heart and experience such joy in small things, including new appliances! I am so glad you got this and that you are enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteThe musical sounds are fun
Deletethecontemplativecat here. I recall microwaves when they were available in 1973. They were amazing! even more amazing now, true, but electromagnetic fields? My m-wave now has bells and whistles, too.
ReplyDeleteBack in the late 70s, I had a temp. job at Prime Computer. They had just gotten a microwave for the breakroom. The big attraction in the afternoon was to go down to the breakroom and watch someone try to microwave popcorn. There were bets on when the fire department would arrive
DeleteHeh. (Continue to) Have fun with your new microwave. We could probably do away with our oven and have 2 microwaves in our house:)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the remains of the holiday.

I used to have 2 microwaves. The one over the oven died a long time ago. I didn't want to spend the money for a new one plus install so now it's another cabinet. 2 microwaves came in handy when I used to host holy days of obligation (family get togethers)
DeleteI have two microwaves. One for crafts in the basement and one for cooking. I also have had a microwave sinlce1973. Back then, it cost about $400.00 and didn't even have a turntable. But I learned to cook everything in the microwave and prefer it over cooking on the stove or in the oven.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I don't cook in the micro is meat. It just doesn't brown. I know that's not an issue for you.
DeleteThere is something just so cute with Monet.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new microwave.
All the best Jan
