New Year, New Appliance

My trusty microwave oven stopped functioning a few days before Christmas last year. Called up Panasonic and they promptly sent a technician, who took the oven back to the service centre for repairs. Received a call from the centre and was told that the repairs would amount to RM319...! I decided not to repair it and went scouting for a new microwave oven instead.

Saw this new Panasonic model NN-SF559W at Jusco, which does not have a turntable, costs RM599, liked it very much...but it was out of stock. I tried other outlets and hubby even tried looking for it at SenHeng and other electrical shops but it was also out of stock at each place...!

Finally found it at Best Denki in MidValley Megamall...




See...no turntable!


Hubby read somewhere that we can test and see whether a microwave oven is properly sealed and leak-proof by placing a mobile phone in the oven, closing the door and then try calling the phone. If you get a "this number is not in service" message, then the oven is sealed and airtight....just remember not to turn the oven on when you shut the door or things might get a little messy inside! (tested it with Miss PreTeen's phone, much to her horror!)
