Undoubtedly, there are many people who find cooking one of the most unpleasant household chores. Maybe, the reason is that it needs to be done every single day and it is also time-consuming. Adding up the fact that coming up with any new ideas of dishes is getting more and more difficult, there is no surprise that so many people (especially women) hate cooking. Well, the illusion that cooking takes a lot of time and hours are needed for a delicious meal are already in the past thanks to one of the most useful inventions of 20th century- the microwave oven. This revolutionary machine has made cooking totally different- fast, convenient and delicious.

However, people often tend to find disadvantages even when they do not exist. Surprisingly, some people came up with the idea that cooking in a microwave oven is extremely dangerous since the food prepared "absorbs" the micro waves and this way, it can cause diseases such as cancer and irradiation. Perhaps, this was the most devastating myth which made many people refuse to use or purchase a microwave ovens. Everybody needs to know that if food prepared in a microwave oven was cancerous or something, then the same would be valid for all living creatures as microwaves, macro-waves, radio-waves and many others are all around us. But nothing happens! Do you wonder why? Just because they are not dangerous!

But when microwave ovens are discussed, special attention should be paid to their features. Basically, it is hard to say that there is a wide gap between two microwave ovens offered in the shop. Maybe, the most significant one is the power- it is usually between 850W and 1000W. Of course, changing more powerful microwave ovens is recommendable, especially if you need to cook as quickly as possible.

Of course, microwave ovens are provided with a lot of other features. For instance, some of them are able to unfreeze products (such as meat for example): what the housewife needs to do is enter the product’s weight and the microwave oven will automatically calculate how much time is needed for the process. It sounds pretty cool, doesn’t it? Other features which are worth mentioning are automatic heating of water and other liquids, grill-baking and many others.
