Our microwave oven just died...what to do?

When mine went out, I bought one the same day. No I'd be lost without it.

I would love a toaster oven. If I ever move and have more counter space, I'd like to get one.

I make oatmeal in a microwave about 3 times a day. I make it in the dish so as to not create a pan each time. And I heat rice several times a day in the microwave and sometimes coffee. Pretty much lost without one!

I have heard that an inverter type microwave will hold up better.

I'm weird I guess but I don't like to cook oatmeal in the microwave. Perhaps because I don't like it chewy, I like it well cooked. What I do is cook enough for 3-4 servings. I like it fine reheated. In the microwave of coarse. I also do this to save on using pots.

I got an inexpensive microwave on amazon. It was less than $100.00 a few years back and is a Sharp and is stainless steel. I live alone and don't make major meals in it, though, so it's a smaller one than the huge ones.

I'd rather not do without one. I heat many food items in there. I sometimes use the reduced power function so as not to heat things as quickly, too. Yes, I love my microwave and will keep on using it.

Also, to make meals I prefer to use the stove top and regular oven.
