If you're one of those people who hate using microwaves, then this tip might not be for you. However, cutting down on using a stove and instead switching to a microwave is a good way to slash energy bills, whether your stove is gas or electric. The reason for this is simple. Microwaves take much less time to heat up foods and are also much smaller than stoves.
Let's say that a stove or oven takes around 20-30 minutes to heat up food. You could probably cut that number down to around 1 minute by using a microwave, which is a lot less power being drawn.
