Jump-Start Cooking: Energy Efficient Kitchen

Combine your microwave with conventional appliances to make recipes in a fraction of time and energy that look and taste as if they were cooked the old fashioned way. Start cooking by microwave and transfer to your oven, skillet, broiler, or grill to finish the recipe with a browned and crispy crust. When you jump-start your charcoal grilling you eliminate flare-ups and the potentially carcinogenic charred surface and the food is juicer but still has the flavor of the grill. Sear and brown in a skillet and transfer to the microwave to finish the recipe in much less time.
