MICROWAVE COOKING

It is a misnomer in India, that delicious dishes cannot be cooked in the microwave oven unlike the conventional methods.
Gone are the days when women had to toil in the kitchen from sunrise to sunset churning out dishes. Cooking in the microwave oven is very clean and efficient.

The number of utensils involved would be very less, thus making life easy for the womenfolk. Microwave cooking is fast, generally, cooking food takes one-fourth the time in the microwave than it takes in your conventional oven. Hence women, especially those working find it a boom. Cooking heat is created within the food, so ones' kitchen does not get overheated.

Overcooking in conventional methods generally removes the nutrients present. It is very economical and convenient to use the microwave oven.

Microwave cooking helps to make your life easier. Cooking healthy, appetizing meals very quickly changes your attitude in life. The microwave oven is one of the great inventions of the 20th century -- millions of homes around the world have one. Indians are slowly joining the bandwagon. In microwave cooking, the radio waves penetrate the food and excite water and fat molecules much evenly throughout the food. No heat has to migrate toward the interior by conduction. There is heat everywhere all at once because the molecules are all excited together. Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves which release energy to food to cook or reheat without changing either the form or the colour. Microwave ovens are used to defrost, reheat or cook.
