Do your prefer cooking in the microwave or on the stove?

i live in Africa and don't have a microwave. i'm used to using a stove and my food is sweeter, hahaha funny as it may seem it's what we believe down here;seems true because i tried it when my cousins bought one and they use it only to warm food brought out of the freezer(especially bread). use gas and cooker also only when there is electricity and the gas;ahh!!! can't remember when i used it last, the prices have shoot up and can't afford one for now. the type of meals we consume take hours to cook and if i quote you they're "well balanced meals" and for that you can't use mr microwave. another option is to use firewood and charcoal when all else fails.

I would rather use a Stove, I like to cook from stracth food taste better, when you are at work and want to warm up your food, or even at home a Microwave is more convient.Sometimes they have those Microwable dinner, when in a hurry they are good!

Yea, I think microvaes the best, and had been a faithful companion to me when I was living alone, its a lot easier and handy. Though stoves can be better for other cooking and I like things cooked on teh stove better. :)

Im sorry but I never had a microwave oven. I heard that its easier to cook there. I want to have one because I want to learn and be able to bake cookies and cakes. But as of now, I dont even know how to operate one. As of now, I am using a stove in cooking foods. And I know a lot recipes that I can cook with my beloved stove.

I use both microwave and the stove but i don't use microwave for cooking i only use it for heating up the left over food.I feel like cooking on the stove is tastier then cooking in the microwave. However when i am in a hurry or busy i will use microwave instead of cooking on the stove.Because cooking on the stove requires more work and more times.You need watch out while you are cooking because you can't set up the timer for stove,you have to work manually infront the stove.

I think stuff that you cook on the stove stays hot longer...and it tastes better. The juices stay in the food. I love cooking for my family! The stove top and oven is my best friend in my house.

We don't even own a microwave (we could have gotten one cheap, but we barely have the room for it, plus in the end we really didn't see the need), so we're forced to use the stove and/or oven. I really don't mind this as I personally do think that anything cooked on a stove tastes better.

I would say Microwave is one of the best inventions as it is very handy and effective for everyone's daily life. Although without it, I still can survive. But honestly, I love the Microwave very much. I use it everyday to heat or cook the food.

I actually prefer the stove or actually the oven. I think the microwave makes food soggy.

I use both. I think it depends on how many I am cooking for. For big meals I use the stove, for smaller ones the microwave is so much easier.

i prefer to cook in microwave then stove because its too easy for me to cook in microwave.you dont need to look always if already cook or not in mircowave just put time and then when finish just look its it well done.
