Combination Ovensis a composite of gas burners with an electric oven. Professional cooks suggest cooking with gas and baking with electric. Microwave Ovensare handy for meltingbutterorchocolate. Microwave ovens cook by heating water and chemical molecules in food with short-wave radio energy, similar to that used in radar and television. The frequency most commonly used in the microwave oven is 2,450 megahertz.It provides the quickest possible means of de-frosting, heating, and cooking. Microwave ovens consume the least amount of energy and are highly space efficient. One disadvantage of the microwave, however, is that it may not provide the surface browning effect desired in many recipes.
