One can cook with very little fat.
Retains the nutrients and color of the food. Food looks attractive because the color and texture can be maintained. Plus it doesn’t rob the foods nutrients, hence healthy eating.
Saves washing of the dishes as one can cook and serve in the same dish.
Food does not scorch so easily, so that recipes with starch like flour, besan, etc., do not have to be stirred as frequently as over the direct flame.
Certain foods cook much faster-like potatoes, puddings, all items with high moisture content.
Excellent for reheating and de-frosting-another time saving advantage.
Safer for children, as there is no fire involved.
Very convenient to plate your dinner and heat everything in one go!
Do it yourself, any one can operate it. No waiting for the lady of the house to reheat the food.
A cake can always taste freshly baked- sprinkle with a little water or milk and cook briefly at low, and you have a ‘freshly baked cake’.
You don’t need to stand and stir continuously- only intermittently.
