This blog tells you what is microwave oven, types of microwave ovens, how to choose the best microwave oven according to your needs and which are the top 10 models in each type of microwave oven in India you can buy. What is a Microwave Oven? A microwave oven, commonly referred to as a microwave, is a kitchen appliance that heats and cooks food by exposing it to microwaves in the electromagnetic spectrum. The microwaves are absorbed by water, fats, sugars, and certain other molecules present in the food, whose consequent vibrations produce heat. The heating thus occurs inside the food, without warming the surrounding air; this greatly reduces cooking time, and baking and other cooking tasks that require hours in a conventional oven can be completed in minutes in a microwave oven.

They consume less power which helps in saving electricity expenses. They are easy to install and don't need servicing unlike ACs. They are portable. The best thing I like about air coolers is that they don't emit CFCs and other harmful gases into the environment thus don't add to global warming. Air coolers are your best bet if yo...
