12v inverter draw on batteries with microwave
If I get a 2000w inverter for my MH and use my 1100w microwave, what will be the draw off the house batteries? Using Ohm's Law I calculate about 9 amps draw at 120v. Then converting from 120v to 12...

One of the best investments I have made this year is a quality PRESSURE COOKER. It does things no microwave can ever do. I like stew and I like beans, both of which cook in 1/5th the time they do with conventional cooking.
TIP: COOKING RICE!
RINSE rice first. Let it soak in lukewarm water for 15 minutes, swirl the water and rice around which helps to suck out excess starch. Drain.
No matter what kind of vessel you use, flatten the raw rice out in the bottom of the pot. Add water.
The depth of the water to the TOP of the rice should be one cut short thumb nail's worth from the base of your nail. I add a smidgen more for extra soft rice. But it's barely more than the thickness of a hair more water.
Light off the stove. Bring water and rice to a boil. Reduce flame to absolute minimum. Cover pot. Set a timer.
FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER. Chop the heat to the rice. Do not peek. Let the rice sit unmolested for 10 minutes more.
At 18,000 feet the cooking time may be a half hour. Experiment.
