Microwave ovens have a number of advantages and disadvantages(disadvantages being potentially harmful!).

Three advantages would be:

  • It is faster than conventional methods of cooking.
  • Conventional methods of cooking use energy to heat oil, water or air - microwave ovens only heat the food, so you can save on your energy bills.
  • Nutrients are retained in the food.
