Cooking Methods Microwave Cooking Microwave cooking uses high frequency energy waves to heat the food. When cooking, microwave energy causes food molecules to move rapidly. This rapid movement between the food molecules creates heat, which cooks the food. Microwaves cook moist food and foods of varying fat content more quickly. Convection Cooking Convection cooking utilizes both a convection element and fan to evenly distribute heated air throughout the oven cavity.
Cookware Suggestions Cooking method used determines the cookware that can be used. To simplify choices, use cookware that is approved for all three cooking methods: microwave, convection and combination.
