Microwaves supposedly distort food molecules which may lead to certain diseases over the long term. They also degrade vitamins, minerals and enzymes. I'd just pick up a couple hot plates.

Uncle Ben has brown and wild rice cups.
Awesome tasting and easy.
Normally brown rice sucks but thit rocks!

Personally I would rather get something like a George Foreman grill over a microwave if you have to choose one or the other.


Cook ground meats and eggs in a pan, steam some rice/oats and vegetables in a pot, Foreman grill chicken breast/steak/fish.

You should be able to make do.

Living off restaurant food would be expensive and a microwave doesn't exactly lend itself to the best foods.

There's a few...

I agree with the above posters.... a foreman grill would be good, or a hot plate (although almost the same as an electric oven)... but if you cut up a chicken breast into squares, it cooks fairly well... even eggs- separate egg whites and yolk, cook the egg whites for a minute, stir, cook again, stir, etc until your desired consistency then pour in and mix yolks.

Sunbeam Rocket Grill by Sunbeam Small Appliances

basically a vertically oriented george foreman grill but you cook the food in a little paper bag, so nothing leaks out and theres no mess, just a paper bag (you can reuset hem a couple times the same-day too)

It might not be "healthy" but lately I've been eating T.G.I Friday's chicken wings (three or four boxes a day) using the microwave.

This is news to me . I was informed heating food up in a dirty microwave without covering the food can lead to some disease . I find it really disgusting and inconsiderate when co- workers in the workplace don't cover their food and make a mess of it have that attitude it's not mine and somebody else will clean it . I still find it quick and convenient with the exception that some foods like pizza come out soggy in a microwave .

I don't agree with everything Dr. Mercola teaches, but he makes some good points about microwave cooking and safety.

First of all, chicken wings are fried & god now how many preservatives and chemicals are in it. There r many frozen meals u can cook in a skillet, just keep an eye on the sodium.
