what is a purpose of a oven?
It is for baking conventional food, of course! Food cooked in a conventional oven will brown. Few microwave ovens will brown food. If you bake a cake in a microwave, it will generally look pretty anemic and will be of poor texture. There is no way to do justice to a rack of ribs in a microwave, either.
What is the equivalent of 5 minutes on high in microwave to baking in conventional oven?
From a resource which said that a microwave set on high is equivalent to a 375 degree conventional oven setting, and the microwave cooking time is 1/4 of that for a conventional oven; a microwave set on high for 5 minutes would be the same as a conventional oven set at 375 degrees with a cook time of 20 minutes. You might have to adjust a bit from that with trial, but it should give you a starting point to work from.
How to use a conventional oven?
There should be a dial to select the temperature you desire. Set the dial, and wait about 10 minutes for the oven to achieve the setpoint temperature, then put the food into be baked or cooked. Be sure to turn the oven off when cooking has completed.
Can I cook microwave popcorn on the stove?
No, microwave popcorn is specifically designed to be cooked in a microwave and should not be cooked on the stove.
Can you cook beef ribs in a microwave?
You can, but tastes better in a conventional oven.
How do you cook a cornish pasty in a microwave?
Cornish Pasties need to be baked in a conventional oven, trying to cook them from raw in a microwave will result in the pastry being overcooked and too tough to eat before the filling is cooked. However you can reheat a cooked Cornish Pasty, just microwave the pasty on full power for one minute, the rest for one minute, then enjoy.
What is the difference between microwave and stove cooked food?
Microwave energy is electromagnetic (EM) radiation, and microwave ovens use energy at a frequency of about 2450 MHz (2,450 million cycles per second). This energy is in the microwave band of frequencies, hence the term microwave oven. The frequency is a good choice, because it is quite effective in causing dielectric heating in molecules in the food. This is because there are a lot of molecules within the food that will respond to the microwave energy. These molecules, because they have an electric dipole, will attempt to align themselves with the passing electromagnetic wave. They will be trying to turn back and forth at that 2450 MHz, and this generates heat, which warms/cooks the food.
Why do safe temp requirements differ when using conventional oven as opposed to the microwave oven?
Safe temperature requirements differ between conventional ovens and microwave ovens due to the way heat is distributed and penetrates food. Conventional ovens provide even, consistent heat that cooks food from the outside in, ensuring uniform temperature throughout. In contrast, microwave ovens heat food unevenly, often leading to cold spots where bacteria can survive; therefore, food must reach a higher internal temperature for safety when cooked in a microwave. Additionally, the cooking time and methods vary, necessitating different guidelines to ensure thorough cooking.
Can rice be cooked in the microwave?
Yes, rice can be cooked in the microwave by combining rice and water in a microwave-safe dish and cooking on high for a specified amount of time.
What is the difference between chicken cooked in oven and chicken cooked in the grill?

Frig a fully cooked ham that has been cooked?
That depends on the difference between "fully cooked" and "has been cooked." If it's similar to "your goose is cooked" then no.
Is bacon already cooked?
Most bacon has been smoked, but not cooked. Microwave bacon is partially cooked.
