  2. Breaking News- Today every kitchen would seem “under- equipped” without a microwave, with its efficient ability to cook, defrost and reheat a variety of different foods. The handy appliance uses microwave radiation to do so. This is a type of electromagnetic radiation similar to radio waves and infrared light. Although generally recognised as safe, the internet is awash with articles about the dangers microwave radiation poses to your food. Some claim using microwaves can cause “cataracts and cancer”. Other posts says it “zaps the nutrients right out of your food”. If you believe this, the “killer” oven in your kitchen must be a terrifying sight, but there is actually no research to support the supposed dangers of microwave cooking. Hopefully we can allay your fears by checking some common danger claims against the evidence. Does it zap the nutrients out? Can it give you cancer? What about the packaging? Does it kill bad bugs?

  3. Minimising risk Avoid overcooking vegetables to minimise nutrient losses •Before microwaving, check the labelling on the package and follow the instructions •If the package is not marked as being microwave-safe, switch to a suitable microwave container •Rotate and stir foods during cooking to spread the temperature of heating equally and as such minimise potential for food-borne illness. Check the temperature of food before consumption •Remember microwaving cannot magically make contaminated food safe. So if in doubt, throw it out.
