Do you use microwave for cooking?

I use it a lot , for making tamarind water, to bake potatoes, oh yeah! defrost vegetables as I am lazy to chop .

 

No I just use it for reheating food, to heat milk, coffee etc... that's it.I cook everything on stovetop and I like it that way.

Moreover I am really not interested to use it for cooking food , just cautious about the health though not scientifically proved dangerous yet

So I don't think there is anything to feel ashamed about not being techsavvy or something like that.

 

I make fried rice using microwave oven. It consumes very less oil.

 

I will use MW for heating milk for coffee, steaming veggies for stir fries, oil less Papadams, water, deforsting veggies, extracting tamarind and tamato pulp..

Usually for elaborated curry preparations i will use stove top...got used like that

 

i use my mv to prepare hot water and coffee...recently my friend told me abt the papad...it is cool....within 20seconds u can have ur hot hot papad....

 

I have only used it for heating, stove cooked food always tastes better.

 

Just like sravanitenali and hemalathaK , I use it only for heating/ potato/pappad - nothing more. I feel stove top cooking is faster than microwave -which i have to keep on taking it out ,stir, putting it back in.

 

Hi Shreya,
I do use microwave for cooking rice, most of the days. And to prepare coffee, heating food, boiling veggies, defrosting. I have the conventional oven, which is microwave + oven. So I use it for baking as well.
Cooking pulav, biryani I opt to make it in the microwave. It gives a bit of dry texture to the dish. Curries n other part of cooking stovetop is convenient for me. Should try to make recipes as well in the oven.
All the best to you.
