For ages, people around the world have depended on microwave ovens and conventional cooking methods like a flame or induction tops to cook.
While each of them offers its unique set of advantages, we were reduced to having to choose between the two. Well, not anymore.
On2Cook’s Combination CookingTM Technology combines the best of both worlds by browning food with flame and cooking it from inside using microwaves, resulting in uniform cooking in a much shorter time.
This technology boosts the cumulative energy inside the container to 2½ times, making it easy to use with almost no learning curve.

What Led To On2Cook?
Sandy is a passionate cook who preferred eating home-cooked food and used to work late. When he was a bachelor, he bought a microwave as he thought it would help him cook quickly and efficiently.
However, he found that the food cooked in a microwave lacked the flavor of conventionally cooked food, but he did develop a taste for cooked vegetables and meats that retained their structure, texture, color, and moisture better than conventionally cooked food.
After some time, Sandy realized that he needed a product that combined the benefits of both microwave and conventional cooking methods.
Now, the biggest challenge was finding a product that could be used on both flame and microwaves as metal containers cannot be used in a microwave, and flame cooking cannot be done without a metal container.
After doing some market research, Sandy found that Indians and Russians spent almost double the global average time in the kitchen.
Furthermore, the addition of microwave ovens introduced a range of microwaveable plastic and glass containers, which was less sustainable.
Sandy also realized that the conventional ways of cooking resulted in the loss of color, texture, structure, and necessary water-soluble nutrients from food items.
Sandy’s vision was to transform the cooking space in households and commercial restaurants completely. He founded On2Cook, which combined the best of both worlds by browning with flame and cooking the food from inside using microwaves.
The goal was to provide a product that would cook healthy and nutritious food quickly and efficiently, without compromising on flavor, color, texture, or structure.
