I want to see a fight off between a microwave oven and a bandsaw... we'd soon see which was more dangerous

I didnt said that the food is becomming radioactive. Its aboute the nutrients in the food that are being damaged, and you practicly eat nothing in the end. On the webpage of WHA, sayis there very clear, that the leackeage can be dangerouse. Aniway, i was just trying to raise awareness, that it might still be dangerouse.

"Some nutrients break down when they’re exposed to heat, whether it is from a microwave or a regular oven. Vitamin C is perhaps the clearest example. But because microwave cooking times are shorter, cooking with a microwave does a better job of preserving vitamin C and other nutrients that break down when heated."

Additionally: "The cooking method that best retains nutrients is one that cooks quickly, heats food for the shortest amount of time, and uses as little liquid as possible. Microwaving meets those criteria. Using the microwave with a small amount of water essentially steams food from the inside out. That keeps more vitamins and minerals than almost any other cooking method."

For those that are skeptical of the "dangers." If you use wet rags to seal the holes you will not get any leakage, to the best of my knowledge. The rag will be warm to hot on the inside of the oven, but cold on the outside. I tend to believe that the water molecules are not being agitated on the outside, and the "rays" are therefore trapped. I am no scientist, just opinion.

An easy way to tell is stuff the rags, and wrap the outside with tin foil. I'm guessing if there is leakage then there will be some fireworks, also. But, anyway, After my meat meltdown with Alpha-Gal I was run through a battery of test and the Doc's said I was in pretty good shape for an old fart and I've been using the micro wave for a long time with the rags stuffed in the hole like Brian does. I've still got to align the tips so, rock on.

i have heard that if you put a cell phone in the micro oven and call it, it shouldn't have a connection if there is no leaks, if I remember correctly. Ed

yup. that's the method I use to order my pizzas too

Got it, going to put my cell phone in the microwave and check it.   Do I use the baked potato setting with my phone also?

LOL, I think you want to use the popcorn setting.

going to try this immediately. i'll report back.

edit: AT&T 4G-LTE signal went from 4 bars (out of 5) to 2 bars.

I, I, I, I, love it, it it.

ok,, Ive held back as long as I could,,, just to let everyone know,,mullet has been pulling your leg,, several yaers ago before he got a microwave,, eddie was my dad,, I know ,Iknow,, how can this be,, sometimes I ask myself the same ?s.... anyway,  i have pics of our family, my dad (eddie) was near 8 ft tall.. but he used to get up late at night and sneek around the kitchen cookin  staves,, sacrificing the love of our family... now just look at him.. theirs no family resemblance at all..  be safe you guys,, plug those holes,, and dont look at the sparklys inside,,, just trying to save you guys some heartaches..... oh yea,, I had to wear my Im not eddie parker shirt at the classic this year

Always wondered what happened to Eddie, Thanks James for filling me in.   As for Microwave cooking and leaving nothing, I eat from it all the time and my figure says their must be something left.

Vinemaplebows is correct. Microwave ovens are tuned to the right frequency for water, so a wet rag would stop any of the radio waves in it's tracks, that's how they work, they transfer all of their energy into the water, the water heats up from all the energy input and the water cooks your food.

That is the reason if you put nothing in the oven it does not heat......no water, no heat.
