Microwave
Microwave cooking offers speed, convenience and nutritional benefits when food does not require browning or crisping.
The moisture content of food will affect the speed at which it is cooked.
Heat is produced directly in the food, therefore:
–food can generally be cooked without adding much liquid or cooking oil.
–defrosting, reheating and cooking in a convection microwave oven is quicker than using traditional oven methods.
–nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, are generally retained.
–color, texture and taste of food are not impaired.
