Can you really cook a full meal in the microwave?

Yes. These recipes are made entirely in the microwave, from eggs and steamed vegetables to rice dishes and saucy meals, using microwave-safe dishes and adjusting times to your wattage.

Is it free?

Yes. Building your meal plan and grocery list is free and there's no credit card required. You'll need a free account (Google or email) to generate a plan, which also saves your weeks.

Can I add these recipes to my weekly meal plan?

Yes. They're part of the same recipe collection CestaChef uses in the US to build your plan: the app picks from them based on your store, your budget, your allergies and the appliances you have.
