It seems to me that some compromises are in order when traveling. With years of RV living, we have only tried to use the microwave a handful of times. For a while my wife made batches of semi-instant polenta that required the microwave so I had to run the generator once a week for 10 minutes. We both decided that store bought polenta was way more convenient and just as good. We also gave up the polenta fad and only get it once in a long time.
At home it seems we use the microwave numerous times a day mainly just to reheat coffee. Traveling we keep excess morning coffee in a thermos or we make fresh coffee with our melitta filter using hot water from heated on the propane stove.
I don't want to tell anyone how to live when traveling, but I cannot help but wonder what is so important about the need for a microwave when it will chew up lots of battery power and require a large invertor.
