Microwave Cooking Convenience

Here are some benefits of preparing foods in a Microwave Oven:
 
  • Coordinating menus using frozen foods that can be cooked in the microwave right out of your freezer.
  • Preparing foods in a proper serving dish which leaves less pots and pans to wash.
  • Some foods can be cooked using paper plates which can then be tossed away!
  • The ease of re-heating foods.
  • The flexibility of quickly cooking a snack or meal.

Additional Appliance Support

  • The microwave energy generated from the magnetron tube is reflected from the oven walls and absorbed by the food so the heat in cooking with Microwaves is confined to the food itself. Your Microwave Oven interior stays cool in most instances.
