Re: Microwave/range hood distance to range top. I just came from an inspection that had the installation manual on the countertop for the Kenmore microwave. The instructions stated a minimum distance of 30 from the stove top to the top of the microwave. When I measured it, the top was 30.5 above, which left a clearance of 14 between the bottom of the micro and the stove top. Seemed too close to me, but it met the manufacturers installation instructions.
1 In food processor fitted with chopping blade, puree avocado with garlic, lime juice, and herbs. 2  Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. 3  Stir in avocado puree and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
Cut the avocado in half. Using a sharp chef's knife, slice through the avocado lengthwise until you feel the knife hit the pit. Then rotate the avocado, keeping the knife steady, to make a cut all around the pit. Twist the two halves apart. Tip: Itâs safest to do this on a cutting board.
