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've made the same mistake with one of those grill/microwave combos! Easily done!

I love this! I would have been (and was) completely on your side! I think all you can do now is congratulate him on his manliness by begrudgingly taking the latte and insisting he needs to hunt for some cake.

Is anyone else a tad disappointed it is actually a microwave?

OP.

Are you serving up a huge slice of humble pie for dinner.

Well this thread was a wild ride from start to finish

Excellent thread OP!!

@Ellmau

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

Really low microwave wattage when the racks in. Take the rack out for full microwave power.

Sidestepping the point of this thread, who has a latte at 6pm? OP, you absolute maniac. 🙌🏻

good thread. In fairness I was baffled the first time I saw one of those ovens too.

I was going to come on and say wouldn’t it be hilarious if the dh was right 😂😂
I hate it when this happens, thankfully it’s not often !

@bravefox

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

yes you can if its the right sort of microwave.

And the Alpha Male has triumphed! He has brought down the latte prey! The tribe are showing their submission (though the second camera crew do think the Alpha Female is laughing but this is probably a trick of the light)

Sadly too old, fat and clueless for tiktok @Etinox

that picture was a microwave?

how does it work

This thread should be in Classics lol!

Yep, this is my microwave..

Thanks op, this has given me a right good laugh!

You were quite sneery OP. You need to eat a lot of Humble Pie

I think since he clearly knows his way around it better than you OP, he should cook dinner and you put your feet up!

Your dh is a genius

OP, you could do what my OH does when he's wrong and claim that it was YOU who said the correct thing "see, I told you it was a microwave!"

Re the metal in microwave thing, I saw something on TV a while back, where these two scientists (?) said that you can put smooth metal in a microwave but it's hard to know if the metal is smooth enough and that's why it's said not to do it

I was about to take a photo of my microwave/grill/oven which also has metal racks and no spinny plate but it’s in need of a clean and I would have been shamed!!

We have this exact model and i only use it for microwaving!

It’s so clean.

@3luckystars

It’s so clean.

Yes, isn't it? I wish I could get mine that clean.
