when my husband, fat cat and i downsized to 493 square feet last year (from 725 ish), we had to get rid of our gigantic microwave simply because there's no place to put it in our tiny, one-wall kitchen. while i've never been a big microwaver (though it, along with a stack of amy's organic frozen dinners did get me though grad school!), the biggest challenge i've had is dealing with the extra piles of pots and pans used to reheat leftovers! you guessed it- no dishwasher, either. i sometimes feel like i'm using an awful lot of energy and water, but otherwise, the microwave-free lifestyle isn't as hard as you may think!
