Why do you less use the microwave????

Hi busky, Oh my, I use the microwave oven almost everyday. I know that it's not advised to heat food in plastic containers or with metal, and there are utensils that are microwaveable, but sometimes I use those that are not. My kids love popcorn and they are normally cooked using the microwave oven. After posting here I have to go check the net for more information about this. Thanks for opening this up.

Hi there, i dont used microwave much often but sometimes i do. Especially when the food need to re-heat and i am on my rush going out. Yah i heard that microwave doesnt safe to use but i dont know all everything about this one. I am glad for your discussion because ive learned especially the comments given by other members, well maybe i should avoid using it hehe, keep on mylotting

I don't particularly like the microwave because it dries out my food all the time when I use it and it kilkls the nutrients of my food. When I was at work, my mom always prepared lunch box for me, so I always brought it for my lunch at work so I needed to use the microwave to reheat it, I found it no good, it dries out my food very much, but what bad is I don't like cold food, so I need ot heat it up to 100% hot otherwise, I cannot eat warm food...

I seldom use my microwave oven except to see the big watch it has and know what time it is. I love to cook and I have discovered long time ago that a regular oven or range means better tasting food. I don´t even like to reheat my coffee there and will throw it away and make fresh one. It doesn´t have to do with safety but with taste. Happy posting!

I use the microwave not very often, as it gives off electromagnetic radiation, which can sometimes cause cancer in humans. Secondly, when you heat up food in bowls or plastic containers, the plastic can melt off and go into your food, which is not very good since plastic is made out of petroleum.

I have nothing against microwave but when I read a certain article from a health magazine about microwave, I stop using it anymore. According to that article, microwave cooked food not by heating but through friction and because it uses a process of electromagnetic waves which produces radiation more than any other process, microwave is abundant with a chemical element (or reaction)called argon which causes hypertension and blood pressure to shoot up. Besides, radiation may cause certain form of cancer. Right now I never eat foods cooked in microwave.
