'''Microwave ovens''' are small appliances that can be used to cook simple [[food|meals]] in ''[[The Sims]]'', ''[[The Sims 2]]'', ''[[The Sims 3]]'', and ''[[The Sims 4]]''. TheyThe object can be found in buy mode under "Appliances -> Small appliances". In ''The Sims'', they can be placed on end tables as well as on counters or surfaces that function as counters. In ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 3''<!-- and TS4 ? -->, they must be placed on counters or surfaces that function as counters. In ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3]]'', [[Cookingcooking]] skill points can be earned from using a microwave.
 
==The Sims==
Microwave ovens are treated as a sort of [[stove]]. In ''The Sims'', a microwave oven can make quick meals or steak and beans like any other stove. A household can have a microwave oven and a full-scale stove, but if this is done, the player will have no control over which one the [[Sim]]s use. Unlike stoves and the [[toaster oven]], there is no risk of [[fire]] when cooking with a microwave.
 
In ''The Sims 2'', a microwave oven can only prepare a TV dinner and a Cup o' Ramen {{vgversion|University}}, and the Cup o' Ramen can only be prepared in a microwave. Sims can burn food that is being cooked in a microwave, though it will not catch on fire. If a household has a microwave and a full scale stove, clicking on the microwave and choosing to make a TV dinner does not ensure that the Sim will use the microwave. Microwave ovens may break, and can be repaired. If ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime|FreeTime]]'' is installed, they can be [[Tinkering|tinkered]] with.
 
In ''The Sims 3'', the frozen heat-and-eat meal is called a "Microwave Meal", and Sims can microwave hot dogs and tofu dogs. ''[[The Sims 3: University Life]]'' added ramen, [[pizza]], popcorn, curry wurst, and a breakfast burrito as quick meals that can be microwaved.<ref>[http://simsvip.com/game-guides/sims-3-university-life/ The Sims 3 University Life Game Guide] at SimsVIP</ref>
 
In ''The Sims 4'', the microwave can be used to prepare a microwave meal, microwave pastry, and oatmeal. Microwaves can now be used by children.

==The Sims 2==
In ''The Sims 2'', a microwave oven can only prepare a TV dinner and a Cup o' Ramen {{vgversion|University}}, and the Cup o' Ramen can only be prepared in a microwave; both of these dishes are single-serving only, meaning that group meals cannot be prepared with a microwave. Sims can burn food that is being cooked in a microwave, though it will not catch on fire. If a household has a microwave and a full scale stove, clicking on the microwave and choosing to make a TV dinner does not ensure that the Sim will use the microwave.

In ''The Sims 4'', the microwave can be used to prepare a microwave meal, microwave pastry, andor oatmeal. Microwaves can now now be used by [[children]].
A microwave is an object in The Sims 4. If you have one on your lot, then on fridge there are three new choices for quick meal. These are Oatmeal, Microwave Pastry and Microwave Dinner. These take time. A tip is to empty it once food is put inside, then get away from bin and leave it on table and make your sim eat it up.{{Expand}}
