Microwaves don't brown food. The don't really cook, like a regular oven, they just heat food up. They heat the water in the food, so if the food doesn't have any water in it, they don't work well.



Some of the major disadvantages could be that the food gets cooked faster which could result in over cooking of the food. The food can tend to get cooked unevenly, with hot food being on top and cold and uncooked food at the bottom, and so food has to be stirred, at regular intervals, in order to cook food correctly. Microwave oven need specific utensils to cook food as not all metals and alloy vessels can be used. Also all types of food cannot be cooked in a microwave oven; there are certain restrictions as well.



Hope this will help.

Ten Reasons to Throw out your Microwave Oven . From the conclusions of the Swiss, Russian and German scientific clinical studies, we can no longer ignore the microwave oven sitting in our kitchens. Based on this research, we will conclude this article with the following:

1). Continually eating food processed from a microwave oven causes long term - permanent - brain damage by 'shorting out' electrical impulses in the brain [de-polarizing or de-magnetizing the brain tissue].

2). The human body cannot metabolize [break down] the unknown by-products created in microwaved food.

3).. Male and female hormone production is shut down and/or altered by continually eating microwaved foods.

4). The effects of microwaved food by-products are residual [long term, permanent] within the human body.

5). Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients of all microwaved food is reduced or altered so that the human body gets little or no benefit, or the human body absorbs altered compounds that cannot be broken down.

6). The minerals in vegetables are altered into cancerous free radicals when cooked in microwave ovens.

7). Microwaved foods cause stomach and intestinal cancerous growths [tumors]. This may explain the rapidly increased rate of colon cancer in America.

8). The prolonged eating of microwaved foods causes cancerous cells to increase in human blood.

9). Continual ingestion of microwaved food causes immune system deficiencies through lymph gland and blood serum alterations.

10). Eating microwaved food causes loss of memory, concentration, emotional instability, and a decrease of intelligence.

Have you tossed out your microwave oven yet? After you throw out your microwave, you can use a toaster oven as a replacement. It works well for most and is nearly as quick. The use of artificial microwave transmissions for subliminal psychological control, a.k.a. 'brainwashing', has also been proven. We're attempting to obtain copies of the 1970's Russian research documents and results written by Drs. Luria and Perov specifying their clinical experiments in this area.



When you say a conventional microwave oven, that can get confusing because "regular" ovens are often called "conventional ovens."
I'm assuming though that you meant a "traditional" or basic microwave oven, which does *not* have a convection mode (or it's not being used).

At any rate, the idea that microwave ovens can only heat up foods (or can be used only for that purpose) is ridiculous. That's the way they often *are* used, but not the way the can be used or are used by many.

As mentioned, the only real downside of microwave cooking is the fact that they don't use direct heating on the surface of the food and therefore can't "brown" foods.
And the fact that the heating/cooking starts inside the food or in any areas that are thinner, and that they cook fairly quickly, can sometimes be a disadvantage (but not for much).

...and how microwaves and regular ovens "work"


For example, check out some of these pics of chicken dishes made only with microwave cooking:

HTH,
**though I heard the other day that heating a small amount of oil/fat in a glass/ceramic container first, then putting the food into it and into the microwave can create some browning--haven't tried it yet though

With a microwave you have a tendency to eat micowavable frozen foods which aren't as healthy as fresh food you can cook on the stove, mostly because of all of the additives in the frozen dinners.



the microwave gets food hot from the inside out and some things just are not good .

As Mr. Smartypants said (lol), microwave cooking is steam cooking. Many foods do not lend themselves well to steam cooking (Most meats and breads for example)



don't brown food
