The Humble Microwave

When we got our new kitchen installed 4 years ago, a number of people looked at our shiny built in microwave and said something along the lines of "Oh, I thought you were into natural stuff".

OK, when I want to heat up some of yesterday's leftovers (pesto and spinach pasta...) at lunchtime, the micro wave will zap it in 3 minutes at 900W, whereas my oven will take 10-15 mins to warm up at 2000W. I think the natural world will thank me for my little silver box...
