I would recommend investing in a food possessor. I can't mince or cut
vegetables or make up a salad without one.

Our oven went and we got a convection microwave. I would recommend this
because you don't have to bend to put things in the oven and clean-up is
easier. Cooking  using the combination micro/convention saves time and
hassle. Cuts oven baked items in half. A small chicken takes 35 minutes. I
don't use the microwave for baking cakes or bread. Micro/Convention needs
oven proof glass ware such as corningware. Microwave can use plastics as
well as glass. Convection can use metal as well. My oven can broil as well
