Quick and Easy Microwave Apple with Yogurt Dessert
Have you ever used your microwave for cooking? Maybe I should ask first if you have a microwave at home. I know someone who doesn't trust microwaves at all even if she has one at home, which means she barely uses it. I am guessing that there are a lot of people like her too. Radiation is a major concern about it but after reading a bit from trustworthy sites like the FDA, we can be assured that microwave cooking is not bad for our health. In fact, since it takes much less time in cooking than regular ovens, it retains the natural vitamins and minerals more. I google anything that comes across my mind and when I do so, a lot of sites come out speaking about contradicting things. It's frustrating sometimes because a lot of people write about important health issues that speak about contradicting things without basis. So choose the sites well when you want to know about something important.
Quoting the FDA site:
Microwaves are produced inside the oven by an electron tube called a magnetron. The microwaves are reflected within the metal interior of the oven where they are absorbed by food. Microwaves cause water molecules in food to vibrate, producing heat that cooks the food. That's why foods high in water content, like fresh vegetables, can be cooked more quickly than other foods. The microwave energy is changed to heat as it is absorbed by food, and does not make food “radioactive” or "contaminated."

I use my microwave mainly for reheating liquids and solids and I rarely use it for cooking. I learned a few years ago about cooking apples in microwaves. My mother-in-law used to bake her apples in the regular ovens then learned to cut the time and started using the microwave instead. Three minutes and the apples are already ready. Imagine that!
