Do you use microwave for preparing dishes?
Microwave is a utility item in our kitchens but unfortunately many of us use it only for heating the food. Very few people use it for preparing full-fledged dishes.In microwave cooking one can cook the food with small amount of oil or even without oil. Microwave cooks the food based on the moisture and water present in the raw material. So what we do is that we ascertain that there is sufficient water in the dish we are cooking in the microwave. If it is a dry vegetable then we put some water before hand based on the time of cooking and type of food and then by the time it is fully cooked it will be in a good shape. By mistake if we don't mix sufficient amount of water in the beginning itself then there are great chances that the food gets charred and becomes like a black coal. So we have to always take this precaution in the microwave that water or moisture should always be present.
That is the reason why it is easier to prepare curries in the microwave than the dry vegetables. In curries a good amount if water is there so there is no danger of charring.
