Quick Sunday Evening Poll...

[AVG-JOE]

Do you cook in plastic in the microwave?

Personally? I don't. Not even in "microwave safe" plastic.

And on the rare instance when I eat a microwave dinner, I remove all plastic before cooking, even to the point of dumping the food on to a glass plate if the tray is not paper.

No... this time you don't need to wait for me to type up a real poll - it's a simple yes or no question, just post your feeeeeeeelings.

Have you been good this year?

Just remember to avoid plastic, if Santa hooks you up!​

 

[Samson]

I only microwave food when its cold.

Hey you're right: That was a simple question!!!

 

[Mr. H.]

Yes. Sometimes the plastic melts a little bit and I eat the food anyway.
What's the big deal?

 

[Xenophon]

Don't use a microwave, the food always tates crappy and they eat electricity like crazy running up huge bills.

Toaster Oven > Microwave Oven

The only thing I use a microwave for is to soften butter. My wife uses it to pop popcorn and melt butter for the afore mentioned popcorn.

You should just burn money, it would be cheaper.

Moving from Texas got expensive, huh?

I just hold my food over a lighter, it saves energy and gives a somewhat nutty flavor to everything.

? What are you talking about?

I tried using a grilling fork over a gas burner, but the butter kept falling off.

Try a magnifying glass and the sun, that is da shitz!

Use a slop bucket and save!

I found it interesting that one of my animals loves eggs but will not touch them if they've been cooked in the microwave. I took that as a clue to limit my microwave use.

Who doesn't like radiation?

I use a lot of plastic to store food in the refrigerator and freezer, but I only microwave in plastic containers specifically made for microwaving. That the plastic is somehow toxic is an urban legend--type Snopes Plastic Microwave into your browser--but because light plastic could melt in the microwave, I just prefer not to eat the stuff. It has no flavor and salt doesn't fix it.

I will reheat food briefly on a styrofoam plate or plastic plate in a pinch or even a bieroch in a plastic sandwich bag for a few seconds, but only for a very few seconds.
