[quote kap]Another home improvement question: Our old house does not have a built-in exhaust fan above the stove. At this point it's quite expensive due to the amount of work involved. Our general contractor suggests installing a microwave oven with the filter right above the gas stove. Has anyone have any experiences with this setup? TiA
I personally hate them and find them quite dangerous.
Even though i am quite tall (6'4"++) it is very awkward to take hot liquid items out of the microwave. A cousin scalded her arms so bad she had to have three skin grafts performed on her arms.
Also, when it breaks it is quite expensive to replace.
Also, even though I love my "Swiss Army Knife", it shouldn't apply to everything.
Love my stainless range hood, and my separate $30 microwave!
