I've heard that a lot of people are moving away from using the microwave. What are the benefits of cooking without one?

The main benefit of not using a microwave is that you get to control exactly how your food is cooked, as opposed to relying on a pre-programmed timer or temperature setting. You can also cook more types of foods in the oven and avoid the risk of overcooking them. Additionally, microwaves produce high levels of radiation that may be harmful to human health, so it’s better to reduce exposure to microwaves whenever possible.
