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. Remember to take the food out a minute or two before it's completely done. 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.
