microwaving
Quick kitchen heating
Microwaving is cooking or heating food in a microwave oven, which uses electromagnetic radiation to agitate water molecules and generate heat quickly.
The word extends to any use of the appliance: I'm just microwaving some leftovers.
Microwave-safe containers won't melt or release chemicals when microwaved.
The verb can suggest convenience over quality: We microwaved dinner instead of cooking.
