In India Micro Wave ovens, if not very new they are not too old too! Few years have passed since the arrival of Microwave ovens in the market! Though many urban households they do have Micro wave ovens with them but I think mostly it is not being used on regular basis! Like many others my wife too was not very keen in using this appliance till the recent time.In fact she went to her mothers place I had to stay along with my son at my place and this was the time when we have started using microwave for or cooking. After making the trial and error for two days we have standardised the proceedure for cooking Rice and pulses and there after we have used Microwave oven on regular basis .We used to have nicely cooked rice and pulses in the stipulated time and we were put out of trouble of washing too many utensils! When my wife came back from her mother's place we explained our styandardaised procedure to her and there after she also aquired interest in the Micro wave cooking and now we are using the appliance for regular cooking, other wise the oven was just used to heat the foods kept in refrigerator! How about you,Do you use the Microwave oven on regular basis for cooking? Please respond! Thanks!

I agree to what you said. Microwave usage also needs some amount of training, else it can lead to a disaster. Like what I faced. Initially, I'd not gone through the manual given and tried to roast some flakes, and this emitted too many sparks, Microwave was gone ! After that I read the entire manual, got my Microwave fixed. Am now very cautious while using Microwave, luckily it's still supporting me in many ways. I also do not leave any chance to inform my friends and family to read about its usage before starting to use it.

Hi AKRao24, no, i didn't use microwave oven for cooking at regular basis. The reason is i feel the taste is somehow different from the original way of cooking. Of course microwave oven really a good helper for cooking as we just need to put in the food and select the temperature and duration require. But sometimes the most enjoy part for cook is the cooking and control the fire. So, i am not prefer to use microwave oven cooking regularly.

A Microwave is mostly being used as a food warmer. Most people see teh convenience of heating food taken out of the fridge. Microwave is never taken seriously as a cooking medium.
