I use my microwave for bacon, scrambled eggs, cream of wheat and oatmeal, frozen vegetables, baked potatoes, frozen "TV" dinners & casseroles, box pasta salad and potato flakes and rice, and of course reheating. Once in a while fish, sausage, and "frying" ham slices. Years ago I had a recipe for an apple spice cake, cream cheese brownies, and a few other desserts.
