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.
