if what you cook now is healthier than it was before
Inverter microwaves (used in inversion microwave cooking) involve a newer technology than conventional microwaves, and produce more even cooking and defrosting. They replace the capacitors and transformers of conventional microwaves with circuit boards, so they are also much lighter and can contain more cooking space than conventional microwave ovens.
In general, a 1100 watt microwave will cook food faster than a 700 watt microwave. The cooking time difference will vary depending on the specific dish being prepared, but as a guideline, you can expect the 1100 watt microwave to cook roughly 50% faster than the 700 watt microwave.

No. The point of steaming is usually to concentrate the cooking heat, rather than let it escape. Open steaming results in more rapid loss of the cooking water, which must be replaced using more water and heating. Microwave steaming can use plastic wrap rather than a cover, to simplify pressure venting.
Steamed vegetables are healthier, than if they were being microwaved, because steaming them unleashes nutrients, microwaving just destroys vitamins. Steamed vegetables are healthier, because steaming them unleashes the nutrients and microwaving gives them a bitter taste plus also destroys the vitamins and healthy items in it plus are not good in taste so less people should eat them. I think they are better cooked because they are healthier my mom does it all the time. Especially the corn. They make your teeth stronger. Steaming is indeed a healthy method to prepare vegetables; however you can use a microwave to steam them. A microwave is a tool, not a method, just as a stove or a saute pan is a tool. You can steam [a wide variety of] vegetables with either of the prior mentioned tools. So I'll end by saying that steaming vegetables is healthier preparation method than pan frying, deep frying and boiling.
err...we steam it! much better than cooking on a pan or whatever...
Technology has allowed cooking to be done much faster than it use to be. Technology has also provided a bigger selection of foods.
Pam cooking spray is used in place of oil or butter when prepping skillets, pans or dishes so food doesn't stick. It is a healthier alternative than traditional methods.
Popcorn pops because the small amount of water in the kernel vaporizes as it heats up. The resulting popped corn weighs less than the original kernel because the weight of the water is no longer in it. Also, the resulting of the steam popping open the kernel the steam loosens and softens the dense carbohydrate part (the white fluffy part) of the corn kernel itself which decreases the density of the carbohydrate (white fluffy part), and less density decreases the weight. :)
Absolutely NOT! All cooking that involves heat and water will reduce the amounts of certain vitamins and micronutrients: those that are temperature sensitive and water-soluble. But it has been shown, over and over again, in well-documented research published in peer-reviewed journals, that microwave cooking is at least as good as, or better than any other form of cooking, in terms of retaining as many nutrients as possible. The web is filled with misinformation about this. This is something I know a great deal about because I'm a microwave scientist who deals with this kind of issue.
