Microwave ovens have a number of advantages and disadvantages(disadvantages being potentially harmful!).
Three advantages would be:
- It is faster than conventional methods of cooking.
- Conventional methods of cooking use energy to heat oil, water or air - microwave ovens only heat the food, so you can save on your energy bills.
- Nutrients are retained in the food.
