The humble stove has been a kitchen stable since time immemorial. However, with time, there has been an advent of devices which offer better convenience of cooking, making the lives of students, overworked professionals, and bachelors easier.
Two such appliances are the microwave and the OTG. While the former is primarily associated with functions such as reheating and defrosting food, the other is used to roast and grill food. That said, gradually the lines between two have begun to get blurred.
However, we’re here to debunk the same myth so as to help you make a better choice regarding which one to buy. If you were wondering about ovens vs microwaves, you’ve come to the right place. Read on.
What is a Microwave?
A microwave is an appliance which uses electromagnetic radiation to heat food. These waves are generated by a device called a magnetron and are directed into the cooking compartment via a wavelength. Microwaves are typically used for heating up pre-cooked food, defrosting frozen food, and cooking simple dishes such as streaming vegetables and reheating soups.

What is an OTG?
OTG stands for Oven, Toaster, and Griller, and is typically a small appliance that combines the functions of a toaster and a grill together in an oven. In fact, many find themselves wondering about the ‘OTG vs microwaves’ debate when out for a purchase. OTG uses a heating element quite similar to a conventional oven along with a fan to circulate heat which allows for even cooking. They also come with several cooking accessories including baking trays, wires, and racks. They can be used for baking, grilling, as well as toasting functions.
