    I came to the comments to see what people don’t measure and it’s basically just microwave discussion. Made me realize that not having one might be unusual. I haven’t had one for decades - intentionally got rid of it because it primarily enabled eating junk. Extra kitchen space is a solid bonus too.

    Learning how to make stove top popcorn was actually the nail in the coffin for my microwave. Couldn’t give up popcorn but making it on the stove is surprisingly easy, cheap, and better than microwave popcorn. Takes a few extra minutes but well worth it.

      I usually make more food than I eat, so I have leftovers I need to reheat later. A microwave is great for that.
