Guest guest Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 What do you guys use to heat up your food? (when you make cooked food) Do you actually take the time to heat up your entire oven? My SIL and I were just having a conversation about little babies and toddlers brain cancer rates skyrocketing suddenly in the last 20 years and a thought popped into my head "wonder if it's from microwaves". That air that flows out of them while they cook can't be a good thing and the little guys have such immature skulls and are right at the microwave's level as they walk around. So I looked in the group files and sure enough! An article on microwaves. I was considering buying one recently because with Brock and I being the only ones here, we have a lot of leftovers and using a jet stream oven makes the food so dry..... but after reading and THINKING I've decided not to have one in our home. Was just wondering how you guys heat your food up....or don't you? Candace Children are natural mimics who act like their parents, despite every effort to teach them good manners.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 I reheat mostly on the stove- rice, spagetti, etc can be reheated in a pan with a little water to steam it. I eat pizza (one of my rare guilty pleasures but always all veggie) cold, and anything else that needs reheating that I can't do on the stove, I wrap in tin foil and put in the toaster oven for 15-20 min Marisa Domestic Engineer and Mother of 2 God put Adam and Eve in a Garden NOT a Pharmacy!

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 When I heat up meat or vegetables, I use a steamer pan. Otherwise, I use the oven. I don't trust microwave and I've been told they change the molecular structure of food. I also don't like the texture of food heated/cooked that way. I have a small microwave, and mostly it a large pop-corn popper and occasionally I re-heat my tea when it has gotten cold. I've been thinking about putting it away and making better use of the counter space. herbal remedies , " Candace Podratz " <CandaceAndBrock@w...> wrote: > What do you guys use to heat up your food?

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Hi Candace, I usually reheat on the stove in a pan; put a little soya or almond milk with the food, and it heats up fine :-) Some food can also be heated in a bigger frying pan with a little olive oil. Depending on what it is you're heating. I threw out my microwave about 2 years ago, when I found out about the dangers of it! Haven't used one since. love Lisa - Corless Family herbal remedies Monday, December 13, 2004 5:29 PM RE: Herbal Remedies - Microwaves....

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 I have not had a microwave in my kitchen for over six years.... and I do not miss it. About the only thing we used it for was for popcorn but I have an air popper and make "real" popcorn instead. The oven or on top of the stove works great for reheating and the food tastes better than when it's microwaved. Teresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Waterless cookware, baby! ) Ours is basically a heavy cast-iron core triple-wrapped in surgical stainless steel. The lids fit snug enough to create an airtight seal that seals in all the moisture. There's a valve on top you can open or close that'll let you know when your contents are done BEFORE they get to boiling. This way, you don't exceed temperatures that denature your food too badly. You don't end up boiling the nutrients out of anything. Your food retains all of its nutrients, flavor, shape, color, and crunch. No butter or salt needed, cuz all the flavor is still there. It's truely awesome stuff, the best money we've ever spent. And, it's just as fast as a microwave, if not faster. Cleanup is a breeze and it's very sanitary ks steel is relatively nonporous. The drawback is the cost. We've spent roughly $2000 on cookware and I know that's WAY out of most ppl's price range. BUT: we'll never have to buy cookware again. Buying electric teflon skillets at Walmart for $40 may be a hell of a lot cheaper than my $150 frying pan. But you're gonna end up replacing that cheap skillet every few years with the way they mass manufacture these things nowdays. The cookware has a lifetime warranty that's transferrable, so it can be passed down from generation to generation. And ours makes eating right SO much easier. It's cheaper, too, in the long run ks you don't have to heat up the whole oven every night. Everything's on the stove. The cookware we have ain't sold in stores or online. I order them thru good ppl who've become friends of ours. (This ain't a sales pitch, I have NO vested interest in this stuff other than the fact that I'm so satisfied with it and I hope anyone and everyone can save up for some of this. It's worth it!!! We didn't have the money for it then and we certainly don't now, but if we had to do it again, we would! (We slowly paid it off and recovered financially, so it CAN be done.)

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Hi Candace, We threw out our microwave when we got on the cleansing bandwagon and bought a convection/toaster oven instead. We can easily heat up a meal or two if we're doing leftovers, or we'll use the big oven if we're really going all out. My husband will also BBQ stuff up if we're just doing a piece of fish or chicken breasts. I rarely used the oven before, but I find that I use the toaster oven all the time!

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 It may take a bit longer but my Chinese helper (I am not often able to prepare food for myself due to ill health and disability) cooks using the stir-fry method. It saves on the cost of an oven or the use of one and traditional woks are cheap to purchase. This includes vegetables as well as meat etc. Believe me everything is cooked in the wok; the taste is very different from the stuff you get in Chinese restaurants that is altered to suit the culture of the country that they are in. There is NO smothering with sauces; the vegetables are brightly coloured and crunchy - you can taste each one individually and NO MSG used. GOOD Chinese cookery is a delight to the taste buds and so much healthier as very little oil is used in the process; yesterday 'Gigi' used approx. 1 x 5ml spoonful of sesame oil to prepare a feast for 2 of us!

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Because of this thread, I did several Internet searches on the safety of microwaves. Most of them declare microwaves to be safe, as long as the seal to the door is not damaged and the microwave is generally opearating properly. None of the " microwaves are safe " sites mentioned anything about the quality of the food. One did say that " all the microwave does " is change the vibration of the food and heats it through friction. (vibration is not very well understood, it appears) But, I did find one link that lists many sources that could probably be verified that gets down to business as to why microwaves are NOT safe. http://www.willthomas.net/Investigations/Articles/cooked.htm It is much easier to give someone a resource if someone wants to argue the point. herbal remedies , MorningGlory113@a... wrote: > > > > > For indoor grilling, I highly recommend the George Foreman grills. > > > > Someone gave me one they never used and no longer wanted ( small one).

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 I like the line in this article that reads " Microwaving may even result in the development of new, hitherto unknown substances. " Scary thought. I am a Reiki practitioner and have had other Reiki people tell me that all you have to do is Reiki the food in question. But, I don't agree with that philosophy. I don't think we can separate valauble energy work from how we actually treat our bodies and what we put into it. Otherwise, we would be able to never exercise or Reiki poison and make it acceptable food - I don't know anyone who might be willing to test that theory. I am amazed that there is so much mis-information about a technology so widely used. herbal remedies , " Kelli Bever " <kelli@c...> wrote: > > Here's another reference on why to stay away from microwaves: > > http://www.healingdaily.com/microwave-ovens.htm > > > > Kelli > > | > | zengirl04 [zengirl04] > | Wednesday, December 15, 2004 3:35 PM > | herbal remedies > | Herbal Remedies - Re: Microwaves.... > | > | I did find one link that lists many > | sources that could probably be verified that gets down to business > | as to why microwaves are NOT safe. > | > | http://www.willthomas.net/Investigations/Articles/cooked.htm > | Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Marion Ghosh Please give us some more information on the chinese cookery that you like so much. Linda - Jasmina Alisic herbal remedies Wednesday, December 15, 2004 4:14 PM Re: Herbal Remedies - Re: Microwaves.... Hi, give us some recipe. LOL JasminaMarion Ghosh <marion.ghosh wrote: It may take a bit longer but my Chinese helper (I am not often able to prepare food for myself due to ill health and disability) cooks using the stir-fry method. It saves on the cost of an oven or the use of one and traditional woks are cheap to purchase. This includes vegetables as well as meat etc. Believe me everything is cooked in the wok; the taste is very different from the stuff you get in Chinese restaurants that is altered to suit the culture of the country that they are in. There is NO smothering with sauces; the vegetables are brightly coloured and crunchy - you can taste each one individually and NO MSG used. GOOD Chinese cookery is a delight to the taste buds and so much healthier as very little oil is used in the process; yesterday 'Gigi' used approx. 1 x 5ml spoonful of sesame oil to prepare a feast for 2 of us!

Waterless cookware, baby! )Ours is basically a heavy cast-iron core triple-wrapped in surgical stainless steel. The lids fit snug enough to create an airtight seal that seals in all the moisture. There's a valve on top you can open or close that'll let you know when your contents are done BEFORE they get to boiling. This way, you don't exceed temperatures that denature your food too badly. You don't end up boiling the nutrients out of anything. Your food retains all of its nutrients, flavor, shape, color, and crunch. No butter or salt needed, cuz all the flavor is still there. It's truely awesome stuff, the best money we've ever spent. And, it's just as fast as a microwave, if not faster. Cleanup is a breeze and it's very sanitary ks steel is relatively nonporous.The drawback is the cost. We've spent roughly $2000 on cookware and I know that's WAY out of most ppl's price range. BUT: we'll never have to buy cookware again. Buying electric teflon skillets at Walmart for $40 may be a hell of a lot cheaper than my $150 frying pan. But you're gonna end up replacing that cheap skillet every few years with the way they mass manufacture these things nowdays. The cookware has a lifetime warranty that's transferrable, so it can be passed down from generation to generation. And ours makes eating right SO much easier. It's cheaper, too, in the long run ks you don't have to heat up the whole oven every night. Everything's on the stove. The cookware we have ain't sold in stores or online. I order them thru good ppl who've become friends of ours. (This ain't a sales pitch, I have NO vested interest in this stuff other than the fact that I'm so satisfied with it and I hope anyone and everyone can save up for some of this. It's worth it!!! We didn't have the money for it then and we certainly don't now, but if we had to do it again, we would! (We slowly paid it off and rec! overed f inancially, so it CAN be done.) If anyone wants info, email me off-list.)Just my ramblings :)Love & hugs,--Jeni-Lauraherbal remedies , "Candace Podratz" <CandaceAndBrock@w...> wrote:> What do you guys use to heat up your food?
