It’s funny how remarkable
inventions become rather commonplace to us, so that we forget to consider how
helpful they can be. The microwave oven is a prime example, I think.
I surely hope scientists never
decide microwaving is dangerous or harmful to our health. That would really
rain on my food preparation parade, so to speak. Sure, I cook a lot on my stove
and in my oven. But the microwave means dinner can be ready in a snap, if an
evening starts to get away from us.
It means frozen foods that somehow never
was defrosted earlier can be served the same evening.
It means complicated multi-dish meals can be served hot, all at once, if need be.
It means leftovers can be
appealing – in a hurry. Just gotta nuke or zap ‘em.
And did I mention microwave popcorn?
Color me thankful for the microwave oven, even for a seemingly
mundane thing. It’s really not.
