Do you use your microwave a lot in healthy coocking?

Hi anetteh, I alway use microwave in my kitchen for quick reheating of my ready to heat foods. I rarely use it for full cooking. i think it is best for boiling liquids or just reheating soups, tea, milk etc before consuming.It has only one disavantage in cooking that it will not give browing and crsipy effect esle it is a very god partner in kitchen.

I don't have microwave and yeah ok sometimes I am missing it, but I am still not gonna buy it. Becuase when you heat things in the micriwave it kills all the nutricions in the food. And i think there are so many thing how we harm our health and body, why not to make at least one thing good and really good for us. Maybe it is much more comfortabel to have microwave, but I can be without it.

I don't know about healthy cooking. It depends on how you cook with a microwave. For instance if you put broccoli in water and cook it in the micro it looses 77 to 97 per cent of its nutrients. If you steam it it retains most of it. There are now plastic vegetable steaming bags but I have read that they give off cancer causing chemicals. I use my microwave a lot for re-heating things and cooking some vegetables. For instance green beans and broccoli retain their wonderful colour if cooked that way and stay crispy just as I want them.
