its why I use only! aluminum .
cups saucers, glasses, plates, pots pans,skillets, and dishes.

Haven't used one for years due to questions about what it's doing to the food. And the extra space on the counter is a bug plus.

Nah, you'll be fine. Just don't take it for granite.

Just finished the left-over home-made beef stew after reheating it in the microwave oven. Tasted damn fine. So: No.

I've Googled a bit...the more the FDA says "within safe standards" the more nervous I get. LOL

Any opinions?

Mine changes the molecular structures so much that my bacon turned into a juicy steak every night. Love it!

I don't believe it does anything to the food used correctly. Don't burn it, and especially don't burn the plastics if not microwave safe.

I will say that when using a bluetooth earpiece on a call and heating leftovers at the same time, I heard static increase dramatically as I went over to the running microwave to check on heating. It may not have been cooking me, but some electromagnetic field made itself obvious 1-4 feet out.

I had Crawfish Ettouffee this morning that I warmed up in the microwave and it tasted like Crawfish.

I was having problems with WiFi cutting out when I had a laptop on the kitchen table. Turned out the WiFi cut out whenever the microwave was running. Both the microwave and the WiFi 802.11 emit rf in the same frequency range. All 3 microwaves in my kitchen leaked enough to stop the WiFi from working. I still use the microwave, but I don't press my nose to the glass to watch the popcorn pop.

I mean really, you need to watch out for them microwaves. They can be a mite dangerous.

I have been cooking (more precisely heating) food with a microwave and I'm still not autistic. I can't draw or paint pictures, write a song or poem, play a musical instrument, nothing.
