DH insisting the oven is a microwave too. Should I LTB or wait and watch?

[hahahayoumustbejoking]

For context, on holiday in a cottage. First holiday for yonks. Been a long long day and everyone a bit tired so we must be generous here.

DH making a latte. Getting very rattled at the pod machine. I've tried to help but, no, he knows best. Now insisting he can heat the milk in the microwave. There is no microwave. It's an oven and grill. DH has dug his heels in and is insisting it is a microwave and is now trying to put a mug of milk in it to heat. He won't be told different.

I'm now sitting watching this unfold.

Any thoughts?

@hahahayoumustbejoking

I'm having doubts now.

He is insisting it is a microwave

Is it an Aeg?

You can recover some ground if you tell him how to work it. What’s he trying to do? I’ll talk you through it. 😂

Is it making microwave noises?

He's an idiot. Let him learn the hard way.

Or tell him to heat the milk in a pan like a sane person.

Cause he's tired, over-wrought and needs a nap

🤣🤣 sounds like my toddler 🤣🤣

Doesn't look microwavey to me

Or tell him to heat the milk in a pan like a sane person.

Or let him microwave the milk in the microwave like a future person. 🚀 🌏 💫

Picture! I have a micro / oven / grill combo…metal racks and no spinning thing

My neighbour has a double oven where the top part is a microwave but it doubles as an oven. Be careful it’s not one of those OP and if it is you need to make a save face recovery plan ASAP lol

And here in the wild we see the Alpha Male of the tribe determinedly asserting his dominance over the new technology. The Alpha Female seems to be on her phone and distancing herself from the Alpha Male. If we look very closely we can see popcorn. Is this a mating ritual? It seems unlikely the male will be able to perform

Hmm…maybe too many shelves for a combination…

Id say not a microwave

I'm no expert, but that does look very oven-like...

My mum's combination microwave oven looks just like an oven. No spinny turntable and has metal racks. Definitely microwaves too though.

Really annoying when you go to use the microwave when she's just finished opening something. So the oven is still hot. Your microwaved dishes come out thermonuclear.

What's the make/model OP? We have to look it up for you. Need to know who's right!

See the power on button? Mine has another of those with a vertical line in a square that is the microwave on button.

That looks oven to me.

Has the foraging male uncovered a manual yet?

I think it is. The temperature gauge has C for centigrade and W for watts.

OMG! It is a microwave!!!

The shame, the absolute shame

So funny OP 😅😅

Haha, I knew I was on Team DH.

But I've got a nice latte now

It looks exactly like the link @DisposableNamechange posted. Maybe she can coach OP through the buttons to press!

Oooh, this is bringing me much joy. Has the toolbox been taken out yet to dismantle said microwave and see where it's faulty?

Ah…Team DH wins !

OP, PP's - especially you there, @Igmum - I salute you.
This is feckin' hilarious, just what the Dr ordered.

In days of yore, when microwaves were still a new-fangled thing, a couple of my mates spent an entire week squabbling about whether plates would heat more quickly if they were dampened prior to insertion in The Machine Of Wonder.

Neither would back down, & no amount of science of even physical demonstrations would convince either of 'em. Wish I'd suggested the overtired/nap solution ...
