Gyroscopic Investing

I highly recommend getting one with an inverter. When you ask for 50% power on a traditional microwave, it runs full blast half the time and off half the time. With an inverter microwave, it gives you 50% power all the time. It makes the microwave much more capable of doing things like defrosting, or softening butter. Any time you need less than full blast it works HUGELY better.

I feel like I spend too much time re-oiling them but I really love the way they cook, both on the stovetop and in the oven.

Agreed. We pretty much daily use a small skillet or a medium skillet that were my mother’s and grandmother’s. We also frequently use a Dutch oven that was given to us by a friend when her mother died. All are probably 75 to 100 years old and are still in excellent condition.
