Advantages of microwave cooking
1. Food cooks evenly, quickly and efficiently in the microwave.
2. Also the nutrients are preserved and the actual taste of the food is retained to a higher degree.
3. Only a minimum amount of oil is required for cooking continental as well as traditional Indian dishes and so it seems desirable from the health point of view.

5. Food may be cooked and served in the same dish.
