Isn’t this invention a bliss for warming milk and reheating food 🙂 . Ofcourse research still has to prove if it does more harm to one’s body than doing good. Do you cook some complete meals using the microwave or just use it for quick fixes. I don’t use it a whole lot for complete meals. Use it for few items like puran poli puran, cook couple of subzis sometimes, some rice (although most people use rice cooker for rice items ). So what else do you use it for?

I know Amisha used to make Khajoor-Pak using microwave.
If you are making a sandwich and need some quick baked potatoes then you can wet the potato, put it in a plastic grocery bag and microwave it.
I was pretty surprised to see potatoes being baked in this manner when I first saw it. 🙂
IMHO, the baked potato texture after microwave is not as good as the one from the pressure cooker. But chalta hai for a quick sandwich.
Cooking in a plastic is not safe. Forget the cooking, some plastics are not safe for storage and/or one time use also.

I have cooked cauliflower and bhindi in microwave.
Have some cookbook at home on Microwave cooking…never bothered to open it though…..
Sneha, That is why we don’t give you birthday gifts anymore. 😉
Sneha, is it Tarla Dalal’s microwave cooking book?
I have that. It has some really good recipes.
Stay tuned till I find some time to try few recipes out 🙂
It’s surprising how microwave has become such important appliance in our kitchens. As a child we all were never so exposed to microwave and now it’s very hard to stay without this easy & especially quick mode of cooking.
But most food or milk etc. still tastes better when prepared on gas top, I feel.
Most feeding bottles for babies are clear plastic (which is supposedly not good for babies). Are there better alternatives ?
I prepare Rava Sheera, Kaju-Kopar sheera, African Stew(recipe which was passed over by my mami) in microwave. LOn back did unsuccessful attempt of microwave Khaman Dhokla. I know a friend who cooks rice in microwave using auto sensor technology regularly. We have never tried it. I heard there is idli stand available for mircowave.
Can make chai not dip dip one though.
African stew sounds interesting. Either invite us over or post the recipe plz, Dimple
I normally use microwave to heat any leftover food, heat a cup of milk or make instant coffee. I Have been using to make many indian sweets like Gajjar Halwa, Fruit Custard, Basundi, boil milk to make paneer. This way no need to keep an eye on the food. It’s certainly a bliss to have this gadget in our kitchen.
Once tried making Godpapdi in microwave but did not turn out good.
Have tried cabbage rice, fada ni khichadi, baby corn vegetable, sabudana khichdi from tarla dalal’s book – they came out good. Golpapdi attempt was unsuccesful as Vandana :(.
Leena there are glass baby bottles available – i didn’t find them in sunnyvale Toys RUS, but amazon has them.
I do make microwave Chivda…….actually it turns out very good….also microwave french beans for a min befroe cooking…once microwaved it cooks faster
Apologies for continuing the plastic safety discussion here….but thought it may be useful to some…
Here’s another article discussing the safety of some of the clear plastic bottles. As a precautionary measure, we do not sterilize the bottles at all. And so far Tanvi hasn’t complained :-).
I have tried cooking Puran Pohli puran in microwave.
Sabudana Khichadi in Microwave is like maggi 2 mins in Microwave. It is literaly two to r mins . Need less oil or ghee and is not sticky I have made puran poli and custard as well came out good.
I can see Komal jumping up and down upon reading the news about “Sabudana Khichadi”. 🙂
This is an interesting read
