It feels like I've finally made it into the 20th century.

There is conflicting research on the pros and cons of microwave ovens, thanks to the likes of GE who aggressively invest in its defence and the horde of restaurateurs who rely on this oven (and its variants) to get the food out there for the patrons.

I even give a hard time to waitstaff and insist my food should not be microwaved. A Mexican restaurant microwaved my enchiladas from a pre-prepped package and got an earful.....

I just want to be on the safe side of nutrients and effects of microwaving

You do realize we are bombarded by microwaves all day every day, such as wireless technology?

There was one in my childhood home.... But we don't have one in our house now. We did - barely used it, it broke, we ended up getting rid of it because it was taking up space.

Naw, it's an old timey microwave. I'm pretty sure my laundry washing habits are being tracked though. I'm super worried Samsung will tell the government that I line dry my activewear and never wash towels in the towel cycle.

I originally bought them as an gas oven and cast iron pan mitt, but it works equally well for removing hot dishes from the microwave. They do have magnets that stick to the sides of my microwave which makes me happy.

I have had a microwave for most of my life, but I bought my first house in July and it didn't come with a microwave. We have gotten by without, but I was having trouble with my ventilation hood, so figured I'd upgrade to a microwave. My ventilation had greatly improved.

I attended a renowned scientist's speech in the city and she explained what happens to broccoli (for example) when it is microwaved for a minute straight off the fridge and eaten. That was seven years ago, and piggy's microwave has not been used since.

The only reason it is still there in my kitchen is to keep my home's value at market price should my wife and I decide to get a bigger house.

My mother used to microwave frozen broccoli and it didn't have good texture. My microwave has a sensor function for soft fresh vegetables like broccoli. I have not tried it yet. I am glad the microwave increases my homes value, but had I known I would have used the lack of microwave to negotiate the price down.

Protip: Don't microwave your cellphone. You might accidentally summon Satan.

Don't cook your steak in your newicrowave, that's just wrong. Eggs and fish explode sometimes, so you still can have fun

Also Easter is coming up if you enjoy peep jousting. Two marshmallow peeps with toothpicks in their mouths facing each other. They'll get real big in the microwave and one will stab the other

I feel like I need to create a Gladiator style dueling grounds in my microwave.


Eat the losing peeps.



and in the end let the winner one free.

I put an egg in a cup of water with plans on making a hard-boiled egg. Didn't work. Exploded.
