I know that sounds sad, but it would be hard for me. The microwave is just "there" for us; we don't use it all that much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-would-your-ather-give-upyour-microwave-or-dishwasher/page/2#post-1005308 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 20:13:36 +0000 NavyRN2012 1005308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Microwave.

I NEED the dishwasher during the school year. It's too much to come home, cook, workout, spend time with my daughter, then turn around and wash dishes by hand. No thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-would-your-ather-give-upyour-microwave-or-dishwasher/page/2#post-1005219 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 19:39:59 +0000 Mrs Spoon 1005219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Microwave.

I would die without my dishwasher!</p> <p>I am confused, what are these health concerns associated wth microwaves?

In my head, before I clicked I thought, "Microwave, hands down."</p> <p>We lived without a microwave for 2 years.

I know they're not healthy, and I have found ways to live without it. I defrost meat in the fridge overnight and thaw in hot water in the sink, and I heat leftovers in the oven or stovetop.</p> <p>I love our dishwashee </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-would-your-ather-give-upyour-microwave-or-dishwasher/page/2#post-1004787 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 16:08:21 +0000 ElbieKay 1004787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Microwave, hands down. We almost never use ours. They reheat food so unevenly.
