Microwave cooking

June 12, 2007

This is nothing new, but I thought I'd pass on this link for benefit on any new people who might not be aware of the dangers of microwave cooking. Barbara, how's that little "Turbo" oven you got? Do you still love it?Cyndi

Yes! The more I cook in it the more I love it. In fact I just gave away my microwave oven last week. I haven't used it in more than a year. Now the turbo is sitting in it's place

We got rid of our microwave for that reason. I will not eat anything that's been microwaved.

Did you lose any weight on that diet, Barbara? The oven sounds great-I'm still not ready to buy one, but I'm glad to hear the testimonials. I've found it VERY easy to live without my microwave, easier than I thought it would be, lol. I'm not sure I even need to get a Turbo to replace it. But you never know....

Thanks for the info! :-)

Sorry to disappoint you, but I use it sparingly. As you know I want to lose 10 to 15 pounds so I went on the raw milk diet and do not use that oven presently. When I did, I was making very simple things like baking meat with veggies or broiling steaks. I know that I can also bake cakes in it but did not try this because I don't eat cakes or cookies. The booklet is telling me that I can bake in it. What is very important to me is that the oven and the Pyrex bowls (pots) are very easy to clean. No scrubbing necessary. That's about all I can tell you about the oven.

PS. Before you buy one for yourself, contact me again and I will tell you more about it.

Oh, I still think the Turbo oven is wonderful! And for one or two people, I think it would be perfect. But there's still four of us, and I'm afraid I wouldn't get the use out of it, at this point. When it's just Kail and me, I'm sure I'll use it a lot. It's a small convection oven, so it's not really a substitute for a microwave, but it can be used like one, or like a regular oven. I think they are awesome, lol.

For defrosting, I've just gotten into the habit of taking out a bunch of meat on a Sunday, and using it up during the week. But I know you go to work and don't have time to think about things like that. I know I didn't!

I got an electric kettle when I was going thru chemo, and I really love it. I still use it at least once a day. Even Kail has started drinking more tea since it is so easy and convenient to use it. It sits right next to my juicer, lolol.

I hear ya, Cyndi. I rarely touch my microwave anymore and could easily live without it EXCEPT for thawing frozen meat packets. (I just have to learn to plan ahead and let the meat thaw in the frig overnight!) Even though it's safer than a microwave, I personally wouldn't bother with a Turbo Oven. I've learned to relax and enjoy "slow food." Why the rush? At least for me, I find life too short to race through it all the time, and I no longer desire to take short-cuts with my food. There is something satisfying about a simmering pot on the stove...

Roman still uses the microwave to heat water for his tea--despite the fact that I keep a tea kettle with water in it at all times--but he can learn to adapt when I get ready to pitch it, heh-heh.

So the diet went out the window.

The turbo was not a replacement for microwave oven. It was a help in simple cooking. I'd rather use the turbo than the range oven and I do like the steaks which I only ate at the restaurants because I would not grill at home. Now I can eat steaks whenever I want them. So for me that turbo is worth every penny I paid for it. I still can not get over how can they sell something like that so cheap.... LOL

Yes, it *would* be convenient for two people, Cyndi! Didn't mean to imply that it was not a worthy item for the right person or situation, and there is *certainly* nothing wrong with taking short-cuts (as long as they are not unhealthy alternatives such as microwaves). I'm just at a place in my life where I don't want to hurry anymore. I LOVE all day cooking on Sunday, so speeding up the process holds no interest for me. (At least right now, heehee.) I adore the smell of a slow simmering soup or stew, or a slow-baked loaf of bread in the oven. The odor of cinnamon and baking apples, butternut squash and whole chickens wafting from the stove on a warm autumn day just takes me back to a more serene time of my life.

After a life time of using every short-cut in the book, it feels good...to ME. LOL!

(((HUGS)))

P.S. As for thawing meat ahead of time...it's just a matter of developing better habits, hahaha. I don't work quite so many hours any more so I can't use that as an excuse anymore! <wink-wink>

Yeah...I know.... I was whispering

BTW, that turbo oven is big enough to hold two chickens if you would put them straight in the body. I use a Pyrex dish because I don't need so much food for one person. This oven is BIG.

The Hidden Hazards Of Microwave Cooking

Hidden Hazards of Microwave Cooking

Recent research shows that microwave oven-cooked food suffers severe

molecular damage. When eaten, it causes abnormal changes in human

blood and immune systems. Not surprisingly, the public has been

denied details on these significant health dangers.

Court Removes Gag Order from Swiss Scientist on Microwaved Food

These articles all refer to the work of Hans Hertel, a Swiss medical

researcher. Do a Google search for " hans hertel microwaved food " for

more information.

For over 20 years I've recommended that my own clients avoid

microwaved food. Consistent with the articles above, I'll share an

anecdote from one of my students: she gave a whole-herb formula to a

client, which seemed to have no results for several weeks. After

learning that client was microwaving the herbal formula to cook it,

she advised him to cook it on a stove instead. Within a few days the

formula began to work as expected. I have observed this phenomena

quite a few times. To my own taste, a lot of microwaved foods tastes

inferior, and if its taste is degraded, I can readily believe that

this suggests there might be something unhealthy about it. I advise

my clients to avoid even warming up their herb tea in a microwave.

When considering new technology, my operating assumption is that it

is unsafe until proven otherwise. Users should not have the burden of

proof that it is unsafe.

Scientific evidence aside, as Chinese medical practitioners we are

obligated to develop a relationship with Qi. It does not take a Qi Gong

master to confirm that the microwaved food or medicine has altered Qi. It's

pretty simple. Feel it for yourself.
