Microwave Cooking

Microwave cooking is a food preparation technique that uses microwave radiation to heat and cook food quickly and efficiently. It works by causing water molecules in the food to vibrate, generating heat through dielectric heating. This method is widely used for reheating leftovers, defrosting frozen items, and preparing simple meals with minimal effort.
