Alas, it has become part of our lifestyle.<br /><br />There is some research to support the idea that food reheated or cooked with HEAT (stovetop or oven) is healthier, as it maintains the nutritional integrity of the food or even "wakens" the energy of the food. Microwaving tends to kill those naturally-occurring reactions.Soyagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15675569421704314600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7090961411235444897.post-26069391527845129872010-04-15T19:42:04.165-07:002010-04-15T19:42:04.165-07:00I actually use mine a lot.

There isn't a fast easy way to thaw or heat a 1oz cube of sweet potatoes besides a microwave, unfortunately.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01983274195515128817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7090961411235444897.post-89014802638382138192010-04-15T15:08:18.614-07:002010-04-15T15:08:18.614-07:00Since I haven't really bought or used any proc...Since I haven't really bought or used any processed foods in a while, I find that I never use my microwave for anything other than reheating, which I rarely do anyway! SO, I have one that I hardly ever use :-)Jana Burrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07661070303089465262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7090961411235444897.post-68330490195278195152010-04-15T12:48:19.960-07:002010-04-15T12:48:19.960-07:00I use my microwave only for two things... reheati...I use my microwave only for two things... reheating leftovers, and thawing meat. Some types of leftovers, like already cooked pastas, are very difficult to reheat on the stove, and take forever in the oven or toaster oven. The microwave is WAY more energy efficient. As for thawing meat... I buy meat in bulk and freeze it in portions. I NEVER remember to take it out of the freezer the night before, so the microwave becomes the quick option with the most food safety. <br /><br />I do get worried about it sometimes, though, so I try not to heat things up in plastic containers, and discourage my son (who is two) from touching it. Just one microwaved toy car could start a house fire.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08485646970090858379noreply@blogger.com
