Is it Safe? do you use a microwave to cook with or just to heat/reheat food with

I never heard of this so I dont know what to tell you but I will checking this discussion later to see if someone knows because now Im concerned.

your friend is correct, microwave radiation does infact change the molecular structure of the food and *I* think it can be dangerous. It also alters the nutritional value of the food. Have you ever noticed that micro cooked or heated foods also do not retain the heat very long in comparison to conventional means? After a string of miscarriages and a still birth child we decided to get rid of the microwave oven...you know the height was always just about at level with my pregnant body. I thought there would be the added benefit of losing weight because it is just not convenient to reheat foods on the stove or in the oven, that aspect has not panned out however, as the food cooked outside the mircowave tastes so much better! the only time I really miss the micro is for reheating rice - now my leftover rice usually will get used in fried rice or soups.

i'm not sure of how safe or not safe it is.i do use my microwave all the time.it's just convenient rather than having to use the stove.i usually don't cook things in it,but i do heat stuff up.

It is not safe to boil water in the microwave.. the reason is because it can "blow up" once you take it out of the microwave.. which can and has caused injury to people.

i am not really sure if it is safe to cook meals in the microwave. i would not cook anything in the microwave as i dont trust it. i only use the microwave to reheat food

it seems like it would be safe to cook food in a microwave as long as its at a certain temperature for a certain amount of time. and that goes for anything in my opinion, if you could get cement on the ground to get your food that hot, and you dont mind eating a little dirt, then that should be fine also
