And as far as I know, there are no peer-reviewed studies showing damage from the magnetic fields produced by microwaves (or cell phones)… just because something’s “technological” doesn’t mean it’s dangerous.

But of course, to each her own… if you don’t already own something and you’re happy without it, it’s probably the greenest choice just not to buy it.

(Easy when making meals for one.)

Now if only it was easier to find cookware that fit into it!

From a holistic standpoint, perhaps the microwave is evil. But if your objective is energy conservation, using a microwave more often than conventional oven is definitely better, IMHO. Somewhere in the middle is the use of convection ovens, which is what we do most often; we don’t use our microwave terribly often, either. :-)

I fully agree with Vanessa on banning the microwave. From a health persepctive- do we really need to use a device that sends more harmful waves into our overloaded bodies? Do we really need an appliance that scrambles the DNA of our food or burst the little water molecules in the heating process rendering our food virtuatlly foriegn and nutrient deficient to the body. Short of using an open flame, on a fire you built out back, there is no energy free way to heat food- but perhaps reheating food saves our own energy in not having to cook as often and not creating waste by tossing very good food.As well- one could argue to go room temperature or eat it cold but from a holistic perspective- reheating food, mixing it around- doing something to it rather than eating it right out of the fridge re-energizes the food. I stand by you with the ‘No Mircowave” rule.
