Microwave ovens v/s OTG: assess your kitchen health
Baking could be a cakewalk or a piece of cookie but the process that goes behind in selection of ingredients, cookware, bakeware, and the most important one of all- the cooking medium, must be made peace with.
As someone who wants all at the dinner table to gobble down food and wait eagerly for their dessert, you would always choose health over sugar rush of your family. A mother’s hack and a grandmother’s recipe combined with a quick bake blog makes this daily journey quite smooth and mouth watering too.
Where does complication come in this then?
Well, it actually happens a lot earlier than you could ascertain.
While you were busy baking that dish, was the dish safe enough for the baking medium?
Were you sure the food wasn’t unnaturally spoilt by radiation?
Is quick bake actually a disaster for you and your family in the long run?
Will you be able to ensure variety and health alongside your own occupation?
As a home maker or a part-taker in your family, the aforesaid questions pose quite a threat to your kitchen health.
On how many occasions did the blog state a recipe which when followed resulted in a league of never-ending disasters?
With growing knowledge pool on the internet, the digital waste piling up too is increasing. This makes filtering out useful content a hectic task.
The Crooked Cookie is one such cloud bakery that has actually vowed to serve health with taste and help you do the same. This is a series of blogs from us to help you find your fitness friend in the kitchen without compromising on your family’s taste or health!
Scroll down to read the first in our series: Microwave ovens v/s OTG: assess your kitchen health
Let us start with basic distinction pointers:
Bakeware
Dishes of choice: Glass, ceramic, silicone wares are safe for a microwave. However, the width of these dishes should be marked microwave safe.
Warning: If the bakeware is not microwave safe you end up with uncooked food, or worse: the microwave radiation can penetrate and spoil your food.
Don’ts while cooking
What not to use: No metal or normal serving wares should be used. They are made thin and light for the user thus not tolerating heavy radiation
Warning: Any dish that can change shape, melt, or crack under microwave heat or even normal heat is bound to become poisonous if used in microwave. It can actually gravely damage your equipment.
Don’ts post cooking
To lift out the bakeware: Do not ever use bare hands, rather go for paper towels/plates, napkins, wax, and/or parchment papers to lift out the hot dish. It is advisable to use oven mitts rather.
Warning: Do not make the mistake of using metal tongs on hot glass or aluminum foils, raw paper bags, and plastic fiber wares. Just because they survive regular stove heat, isn’t your chance to experiment with microwaves.
Hustle of remodeling
Mobility: How many times did you set up your room or your desk in the most preferred manner and then something made you change it all over again? In the metropolitan lives we live, each one rather becomes responsible for their own selves. Resulting in frequent changes around your kitchen too. Microwaves are too heavy to be lifted and moved such frequently also making cleaning under them a not-so-daily task.
Warning: Don’t try to flex your yoga and gyming power over kitchen equipment as they are heavy due to complex machinery and wiring. A slight disturbance and the damage will make your pockets regret considerably.
Electricity usage
Power consumption: High power consumption of microwaves does not only cook food quickly, but it also radiates extremely high amounts of heatwaves which can cause fatal burns to human skin thus the rubber seal must always be intact and functional at all times.
Warning: Leave the microwave door open for a good 5–10 seconds after your food is cooked. The rubber sealers prevent high intensity radiations from skipping while baking. It gushes out with temperature differences as you open the door. Standing away prevents your skin from getting directly exposed to that heat.

In a nutshell
To summarize, you need to spend more, give more space, spend more on electricity, have a health concern, and buy quite a lot of spare dishes just in case you have to defrost, reheat, and temperature controls.
An OTG is thus a great choice for you to protect the health of your family. A little investment in the form of time is a long way to have that smile of your kids without compromising on health or taste.
While microwaves use water particles in food to heat up the food, OTG uses hot coils and fan dispensers. This also deduces that when you use lesser butter, water, milk, or other such water forming liquids, drier food ingredients cannot be properly heated or even cooked.
The result shall be uneven and thus spoiling your family’s dessert circle.
Many desserts like cake, bread, thin crusts, etc lose their taste on reheating as cooking them takes out most of the water content. What you actually get is a hot and near burnt mass instead of that fresh aroma to tickle your tastebuds.
Last of the tips
India is known to have lowest number of nuclear families. All your kitchen vessels too support a high quantity.
To your major disadvantage, microwaves have a maximum capacity of 30 liters, which too is limited on a small rotating plate.
On the contrary, OTG can support up to 62 liters capacity with over 4 racks in some models. You can even hang your tacos upside down and heat up multiple dishes all at once.
Talk about savings and here’s what an OTG gifts you:
Decor
Health
Finance
Space
Functions
And last but not the least, peace of mind when you recline knowing you did right by your loved ones!
Now that all your research is done; sit back and relax because we don’t use cookies, we bake the best ones.
