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

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?

@ igmum You must have been reading my mind! Hilarious!😂😂😂

Mine is a Neff and it is a microwave that looks like an oven/grill. Warming drawer is underneath and main oven next to it. Highly recommend. I bet he’s so chuffed that he was right Grin

Brilliant thread! My microwave is 21 years old, stained, with turntable and NO metal. I had no idea until today that microwaveology had moved on so much ...

Oh, and it has a clockwork dial timer

Oooo I want one

I can’t believe there is no microwave in a holiday let. It’s a pretty basic provision.

CounsellorTroi · 16/07/2021 09:31

Our smaller oven has a microwave function as well as the usual function.

Is anyone else considering whether they need a new oven on the back of this thread? My microwave takes up loads of worktop space, it would be very handy to have a combined microwave and oven.

Can you remember when you bought it - what did it say on the box. Anyway all should be revealed soon !
