Total and active time required to prepare 20 convenience foods and their home‐ prepared counterparts with a conventional electric range and a countertop mi crowave oven were measured. The majority of home‐prepared foods (91%) re quired more total preparation time, and all home‐prepared foods required more active preparation time, than did the convenience counterparts. Most foods pre pared with the electric range (78%) required more total preparation time than did foods prepared with the microwave oven. However the majority of microwave‐ prepared foods required more active preparation time or the same amount of active time as foods prepared with the electric range.
