Microwave cooking

does cooking vegetables using microwave oven destroy the antioxidants in the vegetables

Hi Deepa,

I am told by a famous cardiologies in Sydney that "90% of the nutritions is gone after keeping vegetables in microwave. "
Hence it is best NOT to cook veges in microwave.

Hope this helps.

Also cooking in plastic is not safe.
My 2 cents .....
