Why are microwaves good?
Most people use the microwave to heat coffee or make popcorn. But it can do so much more. For example, it is use for any recipe that calls for braising, poaching, or steaming.

As soon as the microwave energy is absorbed by the food, it is converted to heat so the microwave energy can not contaminate the food.
