Is microwave cooked food bad for you?

Try doing a roast chicken in a microwave.

No problem if your microwave has a grill function :) But I prefer roast from the oven or Weber.

I suspected something like that. Metal salts are widely used in pigments.

The instructions for my MicroWave clearly state that you shouldn't put metals in.

Now that would be a bit of an impossible contradictory attempt, like boiling an egg on oil in a frying pan.

The food itself isn't usually the issue. (Just stir it to avoid hot spots. ) It's the container. Most people microwave food in plastic containers. Heating the contents accelerates the rate at which chemicals can be released, leaching into your food. Most glass is safe. At work many people use glass plates instead of the containers the food comes in. (Even microwave meals, which I would HOPE have microwave safe plastics) I have seen glass with too much lead and ceramics with metal content crack and break in the microwave. The worst case is when it cracks, but doesn't fall apart until you pick it up and hot food falls all over you

No! Now, if you'll excuse me, my other head is crying because it's hungry...Geez, I only have 5 hands and can't do everything at once. Now where did I put that popcorn?

I guess that would go a long way to explaining Dato. Some kind of microwave oven accident in early childhood? Never operate a microwave oven without your tinfoil hat! :)
