The microwave is broken, no popcorn.

Do they still make Jiffypop.

I don't eat very much popcorn.

Off tomorrow to buy another microwave, I have a gift card from Target.

3. It's been years since I've owned a microwave, and every so often I wonder why that is

sometimes convenient popcorn would be a nice thing to have.

4. it's better the old fashioned way

Heat oil over medium-high heat, add popcorn and shake until it stops popping. Mmmm.

Sorry about your microwave.

A cheaper version would be throwing some popcorn and a bit of oil into a kettle, putting on the lid and shaking it over a hot stove burner like you would the Jiffy Pop.

I would find it very difficult to be without a microwave. Since I live alone, I use mine a lot to re-heat things. It's a quick, energy efficient way to steam vegetables and boil water for tea, too.

7. I have a steamer I use in the microwave.

The microwave was only 3 years old.

I would buy a hot air popcorn machine but I don't eat that much popcorn.

Still have to get a new microwave.

This make 3 things that have broken, the washing machine, the oven , and now the microwave.

Sears will be coming Monday to fix the broken machines.

We have a policy for the broken machines, they will be fixed.
