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.
Brush the avocado half with olive oil (pick one without a strong flavor). The oil will keep the flesh from coming in direct contact with the air, preventing oxidization. After brushing with the oil, store the avocado in an airtight container in the fridge. More: Learn how to choose the right olive oil for the job. The Lemon Juice Method. You can also brush your avocado's flesh with lemon juice -- the citric acid in the lemon juice dramatically slows the browning process.
