In this contemporary era, new inventions are introduced by inventors on a daily basis. There is no doubt that technology has made our life so convenient and comfortable. Here I would like to describe a creation that I find difficult to use.
Last Diwali when there was a huge discount offer available everywhere, at that time decided to purchase a microwave. It was a daunting task for me to select a particular model of microwave. Finally, I bought a countertop microwave because it is easy to relocate (from one place to another place). At that time I was on cloud nine because I had never used it before.
To be very honest, I love cooking and this was the leading factor behind the purchase of a microwave.
I wanted to bake cakes and made grilled delicious(items/mouth-watering dishes) which was not possible with the help of a stove.
Firstly, I got puzzled and, I thought it was a hard nut to crack when I saw it as there were a number of buttons on it. Some of them were to control the temperature, while others were to set a timer. I read the user manual which helped me to use it. With the aid of that manual, I learned how to set the temperature for different dishes. Nowadays, I utilize it on a daily basis to heat my food and I also make food with its support of it.
I feel a glow of satisfaction as it makes my life convenient.
