CurlyWhirly Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Shocking... microwaves should last a lot longer than that :PI should have made it clear that my microwave still works but I don't know how long they last? Also I am also unsure if the microwave oven door seals deteriorate over time meaning that radiation could leak out? :o In any case I might try an oven that cooks with light (like andsomes) when I replace my existing one!

andsome Posted September 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Is castor sugar strictly necessary, or will normal sugar do?Never tried any other in most cakes, except heavier one like some fruit cakes, ginger cake etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deuces wild Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Shocking... microwaves should last a lot longer than that :PI should have made it clear that my microwave still works but I don't know how long they last?According to THIS source, 11 years.Consumer Reports recommends replacing (rather than fixing) a microwave if it older than 5 years old and it breaks.BTW: Neat oven andsome.

My current microwave has around 5 years left in it then!I will definently replace my existing microwave when it breaks as it would probably be uneconomic to repair it apart from the safety factor! :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
