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?

I'm pretty sure that your DH is correct. See the degC/W button? That'd be Wattage, i.e. microwave power.

Oh, how embarrassing (but funny)

X-posted with a million people

I have that exact model. It is indeed a combi oven/microwave, and is in fact my only microwave. Sorry OP

@Igmum

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

😂

Place marking...

Do you tiktok. OP?

OP!!!! Noooooooooooo!

It's not just your personal shame you know.
You have LET DOWN ALL OF WOMANKIND.

Oh, ooops. as you were. Maybe a tad over-invested here ;)

Have a fab holiday, with plenty of warm milk x

Excellent. The C/W button should definitely have been a clue to you OP. On the upside,
A) I assume you were so busy leaning back with popcorn and chatting to us that you didn’t insist too embarrassingly strongly that you were right
B) you have delicious latte

The make is Beko. It does grill, roasting and microwaves too. Who knew!

Now I know what to get DH for Christmas

How did he know it was a microwave!

The shame indeed- but it took 20 minutes!

Oops.

🤦🏻‍♀️

I knew it! Well done DH, bad luck OP! At least you got your latte

@worktrip

How did he know it was a microwave!

My thoughts exactly. Wouldn't cross my mind!

@worktrip

I dunno. These things are beyond my comprehension.

I've now got to cook dinner in it!

OMG we've been laughing at this and OH commented that the only think lacking in last years holiday cottage was a microwave. He too makes lattes

So we've just looked at the listing and there is a microwave, I'm assuming in the oven 😅

Ohhhh, that would piss me right off

What's for dinner? Humble pie?

Haha! I was going to suggest one of those combi things that does everything, then I did something I never do and read all the comments and found the update! 😂 bless you, you’ve given me a chuckle on this dreary Tuesday!

I think of myself as fairly tech-savvy but this combining of different ovens baffles my poor brain.
And I've got a microwave you can use as a grill! It doesn't look oveny though, it looks microwavey!

Oh no wayyyyyy, I'm glad you didn't LTB in the meantime 😁😁

But it has metal racks! How do the microwaves not explode them?

@worktrip

OMG OP, you have just set feminism back 100 years. Shame on you, now go and sit in the corner and contemplate your butter churner with awe and wonder like a proper woman when faced with advanced technology.

for the latte.

@bravefox

If it's an oven then presumably it has metal racks in? And you can't put metal in a microwave.

To be fair,my microwave which is only a microwave does look rather like an oven with height adjustable metal rack shelves...
