2. Off-the-counter microwave
Microwave ovens are the biggest space hogs on most countertops. With a few models, manufacturers offer optional mounting kits that let you mount the microwave under cabinets. To find a cabinet-mountable microwave and mounting hardware (an additional $35), type "under cabinet microwave" into an online search engine. To raise your old microwave, consider the sturdy brackets shown here ($47 plus shipping at www.leevalley.com, 800-871-8158, item No. 00K79.01). But first measure its height and the height of the space above the countertop; with a larger microwave, you might find that the space under it will be too small to be useful.

Lin, maybe your mom fried too much. Back in 1966, seems like a real possiblity. I have one, don't have that problem, but then again, I don't fry in grease, and it's near the sink, where I cut, and not near the stove, where I cook.

well Lin, maybe you should have cleaned it for them every now and then and this wouldn't have happened.

My mom had one like this in 1966 - it collected cooking grease and dirt. When you wanted to use a utensil you had to scrub it clean first. Keep them in a drawer where they'll stay clean!
