Best Answer

The microwave oven is used to heat or cook foods quickly and efficiently. It is effective at heating anything with a high water content, so reheating drinks is a snap. The oven itself doesn't need to "warm up" to be effective, and many cups, bowls and plates can be put into the oven and used immediately upon removing them. A microwave oven also provides an unmatched level of convenience, and this is probably one of the supreme advantages of having this appliance handy.

It is for baking conventional food, of course! Food cooked in a conventional oven will brown. Few microwave ovens will brown food.
