Our microwave recipe collection is a popular destination on bbcgoodfood.com. It’s incredible what you can rustle up at the touch of a button – from chocolate cake to butternut squash risotto. Microwaves can add an extra dimension to your cooking, while saving valuable time and electricity costs. They’re more energy-efficient than turning on the oven – a jacket potato can be ready in just 10 minutes if you use the microwave rather than baking it in the oven for an hour. They are the workhorse of a busy kitchen, and it’s no surprise that 93% of households own one.
