Interesting find, She.<br><br>My RV needs the microwave replaced, I have one that fits, but I weighing the need for more sotrage against the need for a microwave. This could be a good alternative, except for the price tag.<br><br>I looked for consumer reviews and only found 2 reviews, neither of them good<br><br><A href="http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2007/07/review-wavebox/" target=_blank>http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2007/07/review-wavebox/</A><br><br><A href="http://www.amazon.com/WaveBox-Original-Portable-Microwave-Cobalt/product-reviews/B002P6NG0S" target=_blank>http://www.amazon.com/WaveBox-Original-Portable-Microwave-Cobalt/product-reviews/B002P6NG0S</A><br>

<br>What?&nbsp; Microwaves aren't for storage?<br>Vickie<br>

Microwaves suck. Convection toaster ovens are awesome and don't need much of an inverter

I have to disagree with that adamlee. We have had both for years and the microwave requires less amperage from our battery bank than the convection toaster oven. 84 to 86 amps from the microwave in use, 104-106 from the oven. Both work well for their purpose. I have a remote readout panel I installed to keep track of current voltage, charging voltage, current flow in and out etc. Makes it very easy to see how resources are being used.<div><div><br></div><div>If a person plans on using these types of appliances, you really should get a decent inverter. Something with a remote panel so you can turn it on when needed rather than leave it in "sense" so it isn't using amps while just sitting.&nbsp;</div></div><div><br></div><div>BTW, both the toaster oven and the microwave make decent storage units for various small items. We keep the doors on ours secured with tiny straps to make sure they don't come open while driving from weight shifting.

You guys don't know how to bake in a dutch oven on top of the stove? I used to bake all kinds of stuff in my nesting camp cookware set's dutch oven. It was an aluminum set we bought back when we were tent camping. I put the large skillet/lid on the bottom (on the burner) put an aluminum plate (part of the set) upside down on the bottom of the skillet. Placed the small skillet (cakes, brownies, etc) or another plate (pizza, biscuits, etc) on the upside down place which raised it off of the bottom of the pan, Placed the large stock pot on top of the whole thing. Then I set an oven thermometer on top of the large pot to get some idea of the temp. You can use a regular pot as an oven. Just raise the inner pan off the bottom of the pot (metal canning rings work great). Use low to med-low flame. Not as hard as cooking on a wood burning cook stove.
