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.Tip: To ripen a hard avocado, store it in a brown paper bag. Remove the pit. Aim your knife at the pit and whack into it, using enough force that the knife wonât slip. Twist the knife to pull out the pit.Tip: Flick pit off the knife with your thumb or the side of a bowl.ip: Itâs safest to do this on a cutting board.
