In the past we have debunked myths about microwave cooking and seen just how creative microwave cooking can get with ChefSteps. Now it looks like it's the turn of the funky kitchen equipment designers, Joseph Joseph, to jump on the microwave bandwagon with the launch of some purpose made microwave products.
Joseph Joseph have designed 6 sturdy and ergonomical containers along with Youmeus Design. There's an all-in-one stacking system at $42, a pasta cooker $18, rice and grain cooker $30, egg poacher $12, omelette bowl $12, cool touch bowl and dish $12.
There’s a surprisingly long list of foods you can cook in a microwave the brothers explain to Dezeen. "The range is designed for cooking a wider range of everyday foods that you might not expect to cook in the microwave...But using the microwave's timing and exact temperature controls means you get excellent results." Poached eggs, omelette, pasta, steamed vegetables, and even bacon become attractive microwaveable options.
