Like Sona, I also grew up without a microwave. I remember learning to reheat food on the stovetop. Tastes better! Then in HS when we did get a microwave my dad tried to cook an egg in it (without peeling) & it exploded in his face when he attempted to crack it open. HILARIOUS! There were some incidents with utensils and zapping flashes but it held out til my sister tried to micro old nail polish. The only reasons I have a microwave now are cuz 1)it's cute and 2)my nephew wouldn't stop badgering me with disbelief at not owning one. I feel you, Sona.
