ExpandThe great (est?) thing about the CSO, among all the greats listed (especially and because of how well it reheats) is that it allows one to dispose of one's microwave, if one were to have a microwave.

You'll note that the original question was asking @weinoo how his CSO means he can dispose of his microwave–– a still unanswered question.
