In the microwave oven, in an electric or gas oven, over the range? Why?
I do some dishes on the range of course. And the rest is done in a small electric oven I have where I don´t have to bend to put the food to bake. I use the microwave ove only for it´s clock with big numbers and my grandchildren use it for just about everything. I think that food flavour is better done in the traditional way. How about you?

I have a gas stove and it's better than an electrical stove. My parents have always had an electrical stove and I didn't notice the difference till I met my husband. His mom has always cooked on a gas stove. Faster and easier.

I have a gas stove too. In my country, electric stoves are scarce.

I am as traditional as thou art. The cooking gadgets have become digital too. But when it comes to cooking taste, I still prefer that the procedure be done the old fashion manner. So, I agree with you. The taste matters. Flavor comes to liking the traditional way. wink

I love to cook on the stove, but now that I have a little boy, I just don't have the time. Now I use the microwave. I really love the ziplock steamer bags. I love to cook my meat in the microwave in half the time, without having to worry about turning the meat, burning the meat, or having a little boy trying to get up on the stove.

I suppose it depends on what you are cooking. Yesterday I had last minute guests for diner. Decided to make lasagna but all I had was a frozen piece of meat. I half defrosted it in the microwave. Half of the meat got cooked, the other half was still frozenangry. I had to nmarinate it, seal it in heated oil, add the diced fried onions ans basil, the dry soaked mushrooms, the tomato sauce, the red wine and let it boil so it would stop having that "microwave look".

i prefer gas stove.it's quicker and easier. it's also less expensive than the other medium of cooking. i find it more convenient to use the gas stove.most of my relatives and friends have gas stoves at home. i don't know anyone who use the old electric stove. aside from the electric expenses it's quite dangerous too.

I have a wonderful gas stove that we bought in 1974. Still good as newhappy

hehe, microwave is a god thing if you like to make a fast meal...but no, I rather cook on the stove...microwave I use for fast heat leftovers, or frozen stuff. Traditional way of making food is better, and niser. I like to cook sometimes... happy

i prefer the traditional way of cooking foods, where i can mix it with the laddle most of the time, taste, see, and smell it right away. my gas stove is always used here. i did have a microwave too, but we used it for heating left overs and for baking only.

We have electric stove and gas stove but I prefer cooking in gas stove. It saves a lot of electricity and time because food gets cooked more easily in a gas stove.

U know i feel the very same way u do. Nothing tastes better than food cooked from scratch, the old fashion way. Microwaves are nice, use it for warming up leftovers, melting buter for a recipe & EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE I'LL COOK A POTATO IN IT. I to use a taoster oven quite abit.
