Why Microwave Food?
-
It's fast! Generally, cooking food takes one-fourth the time in the microwave than it takes in your conventional oven.
-
It's cool! Cooking heat is created within the food, so your kitchen does not become overheated.
-
It's tastier! Natural flavors are retained in the food.
-
It's nutritional! Reduced cooking time means more vitamins and minerals are retained.
-
It's economical! You only cook the amount of food you need. Your microwave uses less electrical wattage than with your conventional oven, and you're cooking for a shorter amount of time.
-
It's convenient! You can cook right in the serving dish, on paper plates and in paper towels. There is less mess to clean up after you're done.
