As others have said, I don't use my m'wave so much for *cooking* as
heating, melting, steaming, warming, etc. In fact, I would say I don't
use it for much. Until, that is, it breaks. All of a sudden, I realize
how many things I *do* use it for. It is, alas, no substitute for an
oven. And until you do some experimentation, you will have to be very
careful with cooking times given in any recipe books. There are
bezillions of m'wave cookbooks out there. Because I like many Sunset
cookbooks, I looked to see if they had a m'wave one. It's out of
print, and probably technically out of date, but most Sunset recipes
are pretty good and easy. (Check Amazon for used/bargain copies.)
