Without a Microwave: 2 Months In"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>You may recall my mentioning that we got rid of our microwave at the end of April.&nbsp; Right before I left for Montreal, we discovered that some ants had taken to living in our pantry.&nbsp; After evicting the ants, we discovered that they\u2019d especially taken to living inside our microwave and were less interested in leaving their new abode.&nbsp; And so, after a series of texts between Brian and I while I was in Canada, it was decided that the microwave needed to go.&nbsp; I was a little sad about the loss of our microwave, mostly because it was older than Brian (really!) and I wanted to see how long it could last for.&nbsp; But though it\u2019s death wasn\u2019t of \u201cnatural causes\u201d, we decided not to replace it.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.relishments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/microwave.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"microwave\" style=\"border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width:

been talking about getting rid of the microwave for a long time.&nbsp; It had been agreed that, when the time came for our microwave to go, we wouldn\u2019t replace it right away.&nbsp; I\u2019ve read some articles about the dangers of microwaves, but the decision was more based on the fact that I just wasn\u2019t sure that we really needed it.&nbsp; We just weren\u2019t using it often and it seemed to make sense to try life without it.<\/p>\n<p>The result?&nbsp; So far, so good!&nbsp; There have definitely been some moments when I\u2019ve wished we still had a microwave\u2026to melt the butter I forgot to soften for muffins, to warm up the tea I didn\u2019t get a chance to drink, to reheat the leftover lasagna.&nbsp; But know what?&nbsp; The alternative methods are not that big a deal.&nbsp; Yes, life without a microwave takes extra time, but the adjustment has been surprisingly uneventful.&nbsp; I can let the butter sit out for a few hours\u2026or make something else\u2026or put it on the top of the warm stove.&nbsp; I also saved this <a href=\"http:\/\/food52.com\/blog\/10504-the-best-way-to-soften-butter-fast\">article about softening butter<\/a> that I\u2019m sure will come in handy.&nbsp; I\u2019m also becoming increasingly comfortable with reheating on the stovetop and in the oven.&nbsp; We often skipped the microwave for reheating before, but now we don\u2019t have a choice.&nbsp; Sometimes the results are actually better than in the microwave, sometimes not so much.&nbsp; The first time I attempted to steam frozen edamame, the results were much mushier than one would prefer.&nbsp; But the second time, I cooked them for a shorter amount of time and they were great.&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>We continue to have no plans to replace the microwave.&nbsp; We\u2019re approaching this \u201cno microwave\u201d experiment the same way we\u2019ve been approaching having one car for the past couple years.&nbsp; We will do so until it no longer makes sense.&nbsp; For now, life without a microwave makes sense.&nbsp; We\u2019ll see if I\u2019m still singing the same song in a few months when it\u2019s a million degrees outside and I have to turn on the stove in order to cook anything. <\/p>\n<!-- Begin Yuzo --><div class='yuzo_related_post style-1'  data-version='5.12.89'><!-- without result --><div class='yuzo_clearfixed yuzo__title
