Even if it dies you'll immediately buy another, microwave ovens
nowadays are cheap as dirt... I wish mine would die so I can justify
buying a little larger one, but after 20 years that little GE just
keeps on nuking, and nuking, and nuking, better than that bunny! And
not a day passes I don't use it, several times. I don't use it for
much real cooking other than the occasional single potato, and other
than grilled there is no better way to cook corn on the cob... I nuke
most veggies, especially frozen... just stab the plastic bag a few
times and nuke, I even nuke those bags of baby spinach.
