Jim P.S.  The French admit to using microwaves???  What will this do to the reputation of your famous cuisine???  (Or is it only used to burn trash - like those letters?!!)

BTW, I mostly use the microwave to heat up those little plats I previously cooked with sooo much love!   pieanne Joined on Thu, Jan 20 2005 South of France ...But I'm Belgian!
