I think I microwave almost every day, especially since I usually have leftovers for lunch

Only to defrost or reheat. I hear that using the microwave is bad for you. How? I don't know. A health nut of mine said something about it, but she lost me.

I think I only use it to defrost something or reheat leftovers! I HATE TV dinners, or anything made in the microwave, it just seems weird!!!

I don't have a microwave

It's all those chemicals from plastics that leech into the food.

I try my best to reheat things on the stove and stay away from the microwave but sometimes when you're in a hurry you just have to use it.

Once a week, maybe even less

Yea...or if I need to quickly half defrost something...but I clean my microwave in my weekly sleaning routine so it's never yucky and gross with bacteria everywhere!!!

gotta have the microwave to melt butter quick!! lol

I am the queen of microwave meals and popcorn and all other things that can be made in two minutes or less.

Don't have a microwave and never did have one! Although I don't have an oven either...!

I don't use it every day. I'd say maybe twice a week.

how else am i to heat my morning oatmeal or mug of hot chocolate? less than two minutes to zap and i'm downing breakfast and out the door!

I don't have a microwave (we sacrificed it to make room for the espresso machine and mixer), but occasionally I wish we did. Melting chocolate would be so much easier with one, and let me tell you that there is no quick way to reheat lasagna without one!

I reheat a lot of leftovers and heat water for tea, so pretty much every day.

I use it for leftovers and to make tea or hot chocolate.

I live in a dorm right now so I don't have many cooking options... although my microwave is also a toaster oven... highly illegal dorm item...

Basically reheating, defrosting or trying to melt something faster and quicker.

i use it a few times a week.. to re heat left overs and what not.. thats about it!

Not too often, but it's a great way to boil water quickly!

i use it every day for tea, oatmeal, soup, start a baked potato...the possibilities are endless!!

I don't own a microwave. I live in an apartment and in order to save space I got rid of it. I never used it anyway.

I don't have one anymore. It took a while to get used to being without one, things take a little longer but I don't mind.

basically everyday, but pretty much only to heat up water for tea. i used to have a cute little raqwa that i used to heat up water on the stove, but i lost it when i moved

I'm trying to use it less. Some nights, it's hard to get motivated to cook after work and class.

As a college student pretty much every meal I consume outside the dining hall has at least one element (if not the whole thing) that has been microwaved.

But never in plastic

Only when reheating a dish.

Mainly to reheat items. not to cook.

Can I ask why some of you use it to heat water?
Isn't electric kettle faster&easier option?

I usually reheat my tea every morning since I like it really hot and it cools fast. But other than that, I rarely use it.

I don't have a microwave

When asked what she thought of the microwave, Julia Child was quoted as saying, "It's good for drying out wet newspapers."

Just about every day for me.

i guess i use the microwave at work, but we don't have one at home.

i use it almost every day
but never to cook
always to reheat
but since im big on making use of leftovers
thats quite often
that being said:
i could never
and will never live with out one

I do not want to live without my microwave. I use it daily... multiple times. But to be fair... I use my stove/oven just as much.

That was a fun little poem, chancleta!

My child need instant gratification.
There for I frequently use our microwave to heat up leftovers and soy corn dogs.
