I did a year abroad without a microwave. I actually prefer reheating food in a wok or skillet. Sure it takes a little longer, but I think it tastes better.

>Microwave ovens don’t make foods radioactive. They just heat them. Microwave ovens heat food by producing radiation which is absorbed by water molecules in the food. This makes the water molecules vibrate and produce heat, which cooks the food.

Any modern day microwave oven in good condition is perfectly safe as long as you follow the instructions for use. If you use a microwave oven in the correct way there is no known harmful effect on humans. But people still tend to worry. Understanding the different types of radiation may help to reassure you that cooking in a microwave is not dangerous and won’t cause cancer.

It's the cancer which makes it taste better. The Maillard reaction is the real cancer, any heat source >100 degrees is cancer ... delicious cancer.

put in oven at 225F for 30 mins while wrapped in foil. There are other ways. Put in a ziploc bag and boil it until hot if you like it mushy. Deep fry it at around 325F oil for 5 minutes. Put in a toaster oven at around 325F and flip it about every 5 minutes until the center is hot. Let it lay in the sun on a black car hood or blacktop driveway for 4 hours.

Only use it to reheat pizza 2bh.

shut up faggot boy their are literally hunderds of study's that objectivly prove what im saying

"Their" is possessive. Their car. Their dog. Their children. They own those things.

"There" is a place. I saw my keys over there earlier. I've been there several times. I drove there and back in under 10 minutes.

"They're" is "they are" They're going to come over for the holidays. They're whining about my post. They're making a pizza.

One time I saw their dog eating over there and they're all just standing around watching it so I said to them "Hey, why don't you go stop your dog from eating your plants or you're going to regret it"
>>
>>7853608
Exactly man listen to this genius, why use a modern marvel like a microwave when you can heat your burrito on top of the hood of your car over the course of four hours. Or put it on your driveway!!!!

Fuck this board man

>>7853666
They said there are no other ways to cook it beside a microwave. I was simply stating there are other ways to warm it up. What is wrong with that?

HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO GET UNIFORM POPCORN

No seriously, pot method burns some of the butter
>>
>>7853804

It sounds like your pot may be thin and thus prone to hotspotting.

also, butter burns at a relatively low temperature due to the milk solids it in. It makes more sense to pop the kernels in oil, then add the butter later as a topping.

I wan't to die.

I see, I usually just scraped the contents of a microwavable pouch inside.

I believe that a couple of decades from now someone will make a madman style tv show based on our time and they will look at the microwave and think

>holy shit, did they really really used that thing? Damn. So reckless and stupid.
>>
>>7853624

There are hundreds of studies that microwaves cause cancer, however your average microwave doesn't produce a level that is known to be cancer-causing, it produces non-ionizing radiation, so it's unable to cause cancer, stop believing every 'natural' magazine or website you see.

My girlfriend's family never had a microwave, so when we first started seeing each other she let slip that she thought pic related were in fact, small chips.

We don't have a microwave in our current house, we did in a previous place, but our kitchen is pretty small and we can easily live without it - sometimes I miss the convenience, but I think it helps to promote good habits, rather than just going for the easy option of getting a ready meal and throwing it in the microwave for 6 minutes.
>>
microwaves are seriously fucking underrated. they're fucking killer for cooking vegetables in their own steam and i use them to make fucking killer soups with practically no work in less than 10 mins. it's also fucking good for precooking potatoes for making chips or roasties cause it dries out the surface. there's tons of applications of microwaves and if you're scared of radiation well son i wouldn't go near that infrared death box that is your oven
>>
>>7853974
to be fair i would've thought the same
yes chips are fries to brits but the micro just makes me think small
the box to me was enough to give it away
>>
>>7853400
Putting metal in it and making it explode, for instance? People are stupid

If your microwave can kill you, your wifi definitely will.
