My Dad wanted to buy one for Mom, but it was so expensive he asked me to chip in. I did. He bought it from Osco. It was huge!
we were the first ones to have microwave, apple computer and pong!

When I was attending university, I put a dozen uncooked eggs in the microwave. To make hard boiled eggs. They exploded and made a mess.

I was the first person i knew who got one. I got it for Christmas in mid '70s. It was a whopping 450 watts and cost about $400. My bil who was visiting took a shine to it and spent all of Christmas morning trying to make eggs for the family. All he made was a big mess. Now i know cooking eggs is one of the trickier things to cook in the microwave. Not for beginners.

I do remember going to shop for my first microwave at a local appliance shop. As I checked out a few of the larger units, the owner came over and asked me a few questions. His advice - buy small - you'll only use it to soften your Hagen-Daz!

I was across the street at my friends house and my dad called me home telling me he was going to show me how to cook and egg in 1 minute. Well he did. We had the first microwave on the block.

For years I never wanted want and were sure they were evil and dangerous.
At work I put in a bagel and it tuned out like a car tire.
Then when we finally got one, I find I can't live without one (as so many things we think).

We had one in our family restaurant. I don't remember my first time using it, but I am not a big fan of microwave ovens.
I use mine for defrosting meat in a hurry, and softening brown sugar, but not much more.

My first microwave was bought by my husband and baby daughter in 1985. He took her Christmas shopping for a gift for me and bought me a full size microwave/convection oven with a J.C. Penny nameplate on the front. I still have it, use it everyday. We put an over-the-range microwave in when we remodeled our kitchen but I rarely use it, preferring my oldie.

I was a kid when we got our first one. I promptly caught a potato on fire. Took us forever to get that smell out of the house.
