Microwave vs Oven

There’s a difference between cooking with a microwave, and an oven. With a microwave, it’s fast, convenient- it’s for instant gratification. It’s for busy souls not having the time and availability to cook something properly. Microwaves don’t require warming or preparation, they quickly heat the outside, penetrating some food substances, leaving you with a product inconsistent in temperature, not quite heated all throughout. You don’t typically cook with a microwave, you just warm things up.

An oven, on the other hand, is considered the proper way to cook. You take the time to preheat it. And though inconvenient, it’s rather conventional. The warmth starts on the outside, slowly seeping into the product, coating and filling it with a uniform temperature. Despite the delayed gratification, it’s so much more fulfilling.

And such is life, brimming with decisions between microwaves and ovens. You pick microwaves, hindered by impatience, looking for a remedy for the now, not the future. Whereas oven decisions take tolerance, build-up, and sometimes travail. But it’s the proper way, because a microwave can last you for a while, but an oven will last you a lifetime.
