Re: How Often Do you Use your M********?
We use ours regularly when locked up in C Pk's. Great for heating peas, corn, baked beans etc. We haven't used it at all when camping as haven't got lithiums yet.
We have a genset but I try to discourage its use. The one at home gets a fairly solid workout reheating stuff.

More solar, see other place!!T1 Terry wrote:More batteries or more solar needed?dapope wrote:Use ours dam near daily when away. Like others, having the lithiums helps! 35 at 9 am, wife still hiding under the air con in the bedroom. Our 6 monthly generator fuel up ran out yesterday, so i figure she has another 2 hrs max with the batteries!
TBH, for the amount of times we get stuck running an already capable generator is almost more economic sense

Re: How Often Do you Use your M********?
We have 2 Solardoms...one in the bus and one in the granny flat in Adelaide. Whenever we are connected to power it gets used a couple of times a day to heat the milk for Geoff's coffee and whenever I have the time and inclination to bake instead of using gas. Haven't tried it on the lithiums yet but I'm sure we will once we hit the road again to head North for the Winter.Wilbor wrote:We just had to have a new LG SolarDOM Light oven. I explained that it was ridiculously expensive and too heavy at 26kg and far too big at 36 litres but we HAD to have one. We, read as I, have a rule that when anything new goes in things of equal weight come out and as tools and spares are essentials I always look at the galley first . Anyway, I reinforced the stand where it lives and in it went. After about a year of very little use, I think we cooked one rack of lamb and our normal occasional use for frozen vegies I convinced SWMBO that we would get better use from it at home, so back out it came and in went a 20lt el-cheepo microwave (we gave the one the LG replaced to our daughter). Now I am considering a Kogan 25lt convection microwave but this discussion may give rise to a re-think
We also store our bread in it when not zapping things

Good to see you speak up Sharyn..we need more girl power here.
I forgot, our m/wave gets used on travels to warm up the heat bag for sore and aching backs! The is an essential, so I guess the electrical cupboard that we mostly use for storage, is sort of useful anyway. It is a really good travel safe for valuables.

We were trying to recall whether we had used ours at all. You've just reminded me. Heating her heat bag is the only thing the microwave has been used for!dream4red wrote:Good to see you speak up Sharyn..we need more girl power here.

Re: How Often Do you Use your M********?
But do you remember putting all these strange items in your microwave or do you think someone may have "borrowed" them??
