Like Paul, we have a separate stovetop/oven, and I also did in the last place I was.

If I am actually cooking, then the order of usage is stove, oven, microwave.

If we're including such things as heating milk for coffee, instant oatmeal, and popcorn then the microwave wins -- mostly because I nuke milk for my coffee just about every weekday morning.


Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.
