Order Microwave Cooking for One
WHAT OTHER'S HAVE TO SAY ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING FOR ONE:The wonderful and beautiful book arrived this week and I am thrilled! There are many more recipes then I expected. I am very excited since my husband often works late and I end up with sandwiches rather then making myself something to eat.—Barbara Andersen, New York I received your cookbook in the mail yesterday afternoon and have already read the whole book. I'm very pleased with my purchase and know I'll use it everyday the rest of my life. I'm so glad I found your website. Thank you again..—Sara Oviatt, Idaho It is a very good cookbook and I have yet to find a recipe that didn't turn out as it was supposed to.—Norm Peterson, Arizona Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I'm an 81-year old and a 24/7 caretaker for my wife who has AD. I will certainly use the book to the best of my ability.—Darold L. Schorlig, California I received your cookbook, and I have tried some recipes from it. They were great. My hubby keeps looking in the cookbook, and asks "when will you cook this recipe?"—Lori Hamby, Florida My microwave was a gift for my 30th birthday, which makes it an oldie, but a goodie. The conversion chart is especially helpful. I use my microwave on a daily basis, but I know with your cookbook it will become even more valuable.—Marcia Scurfield, Kansas |

Why Microwave Food?
-
It's fast! Generally, cooking food takes one-fourth the time in the microwave than it takes in your conventional oven.
-
It's cool! Cooking heat is created within the food, so your kitchen does not become overheated.
-
It's tastier! Natural flavors are retained in the food.
-
It's nutritional! Reduced cooking time means more vitamins and minerals are retained.
-
It's economical! You only cook the amount of food you need. Your microwave uses less electrical wattage than with your conventional oven, and you're cooking for a shorter amount of time.
-
It's convenient! You can cook right in the serving dish, on paper plates and in paper towels. There is less mess to clean up after you're done.
Why Recipes for One?

Did You Know?
Many people become frustrated when attempting to cook in the microwave because they do not realize that most recipes for microwave ovens are written for the 700-watt oven (the industry standard). However, you have a different wattage microwave oven. What do you do? Check out our easy-to-use Conversion Charts pages to convert the microwave time you need to use to cook your food. Don't know what wattage oven you have? Check out What Wattage is My Oven? for instructions on how to determine your microwave oven's wattage.
