Re: Pressure cooker issue I have
Thanks, Mama but my stove does most all that, too. Being retired, I'm in no hurry, I can wait a few minutes longer.
Heating and warming seems to be its main usage. My stove and oven does that, too.
My oven will bake a potato with a crispy skin. A microwave won't. I like a crispy skin with lots of butter on it.
I don't use plastic cutting boards. They are hazardous to your health. I use bamboo.
I bake my bacon in the oven. I don't eat fried foods.
My butter melts on my stove top just fine.
Honey in a pot of water on low heat will de-crystallize.
I hate to admit this one but I buy my lemon and lime juices in a bottle. It's far more stable for cooking. It always tastes the same. I hate a lemon pie that came out too sweet or tart cuz of the lemons.
Just can't justify spending $25 for a warming device when I have a stove that does the same thing.
Mama, I use my microwave oven for most of those things.

Electronic microwaves can also be used as a kitchen timer to time the cooking progress of most foods.
My main cutting board is a plastic one. Bought a wooden one, but I don't use it bebcause I don't want it to scratch up the surface. It's to pretty to use for cutting up things!
With a microwave, you can warm food in the same dish that you eat it from. The stove has you using pots & pans, which means more to clean up afterwards.
On a few occasions, I've roasted a whole turkey in the microve oven. Most frozen foods are warmed in the microwave.
I had a smaller one that I used for 13 years. Sadly, the glass window on the door had cracked, and since it had to be replaced, I just went on and bought a much larger and fancier Kenmore one in black to match the color of the fridge and dishwasher. It also has a built-in toaster.
I've never had any trouble with it. It has served me well, and it continues to do so.
