Probably, since it is estimated that over 90% of the nation’s households have one. But did you know that recent research has shown that because of the lack of power that it uses, compared with conventional cooking methods, the microwave works out the cheapest of all the cooking appliances? \u003cstrong\u003eAnd with energy costs spiralling to unthinkable levels, it seems that the microwave’s moment has come – and not before time. \u003c\/strong\u003eBecause of its energy efficiency isn’t it time to use it every day creatively rather than just warming up leftovers?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are countless dishes that are done beautifully, and completely, in a microwave.
