Microwave steam cooking - The healthy way

A leading UK food and drink research company identified that steaming in the microwave is the healthiest way of cooking.

Steaming in the microwave has these important advantages: Short cooking time preserves vitamins and minerals It allows maximum retention of flavour, colour and texture Optimal convenience and food safety are offered With regards to the growing trend of healthier living and eating of consumers, these findings are of major importance. Further research was able to quantify these benefits.
