Bye-bye Microwave & Microwave Popcorn!

Yep Masihi, and it makes at least three times the amount of the microwave popcorn, which in my family of popcorn lovers, that is a big plus.. Hi Hatley, yes I agree, I wouldn't throw out the microwave and Masihi is probably using that as a play on words, I am sure if she really gets rid of it, she will donate it.

carm in 1970 everyone thought microwave ovens an instrument of the devil but I used one until I got stuck here at gold crest and I do not have radiation poisioning or cancer. that thinking is long gone now. b ut as for popcorn why use the pregooed up stuff just get a bag of good popcorn kernels free of goo and microwave and eat. I understand the want for healthy fare but fear of microwaves thats older than old.as I used to cook for one, my son having long hours and eating at work, and mostof the time used the microwave oven for my meals. I have no cancer today or have I ever had any. why throw away a good tool because of urban legends? all my life I have used one thing, plain common sense.You can get butter free popcorn and yes pop it in your microwave and its healthy., thats like saying you will not drive a car as people get killed in cars or using a modern electric stove and oven cause it makes sounds when baking I wish I had my microwave oven out of storage and permission to use it here. as for food I use common sense, which is not too common anymore,.If you do not want added ingredients in some favorite food just do a little shopping, again common sense not throwing out a microwave oven.

Ya, you make your own popcorn, you can flavour it any way you want :-)

It is a contributor to cancer (radiation) and also the microwave stuff is full of chemicals. I prefer doing things naturally anyway.

myg if the tiny tiny amount of radiation in a microwave makes you think you would have gotten cancer then you will not 'want to walk out doors as there is more radiation in the air we breath than in the oven and this in the air is also tiny amounts too. that thinking had been disproved many years ago. do not you think that if microwave ovens really were dangerous they would not have been bought anymore?because of statements l ike yours I researched and found that the amount of radiation in a modern microwave is less even than that in the outside air we breath.now do not ell me to quit breathing because there is a tiny amount in the air,.

thats a proper answer hatley, you are right, the whole earth is polluted to such an extent that the air is itself poison, the fruits are spayed with pesticides and fruits are ripened with the help of sulfur, so what do we avoid? i dont know, the rice that we buy is coated by companies with red oxide and when i wash it it sticks to my hands..the situation is quite hopeless actually.

I agree. We can't avoid everything, but why not do what we can?

Ya, I often wonder what chemicals are in the stuff and while we can't always avoid chemicals why knowingly purchase things that are unhealthy? That doesn't make any sense.

Popcorn is a fun treat to eat :-)

I meant soup and not soap. Sorry.

Actually it was me who wanted to get rid of the thing, not my husband. I been wanting to get rid of it for years, and am relieved that he agreed to it.

There's nothing like doing things the old-fashioned way anyway :-)

Thanks, GG, I agree with you there. I'm trying to be as compact as possible anyway, and so is my husband.

It's probably a purchase down the road, but I'd like to try the pan method first.

I'll probably end up making my own gourmet popcorn!
