The appliance that elicits anger and frustrated at it’s mere sight. The treacherous device that never worked right.

    Find an old 70s Amana Radarange on Marketplace or whatever local selling forum is available to you.

    I have both 1972 (analog rotary dials) and 1976 (electrostatic push button) models, and they can bring a cup of water to boil in less than 30 seconds. Most any modern microwave I’ve tried this on needed 2-8 minutes to do the same damn thing.

      you can get a modern high power microwave, you just need to look out for the wattage. boiling a cup of water in 30 seconds is not unheard of
