Microwave cooking and nutrition - Harvard Health

Are microwaves safe for cooking your food?
Some nutrients break down when they're exposed to heat, whether it is from a microwave or a regular oven. Vitamin C is perhaps the clearest example. But because microwave cooking times are shorter, cooking with a microwave does a better job of preserving vitamin C and other nutrients that break down when heated.

As far as vegetables go, cooking them in water robs them of some of their nutritional value because the nutrients leach out into the cooking water. For example, boiled broccoli loses glucosinolate, the sulfur-containing compound that may give the vegetable its cancer-fighting properties (as well as the taste that many find distinctive and some find disgusting). Is steaming vegetables — even microwave steaming — better? In some respects, yes. For example, steamed broccoli holds on to more glucosinolate than boiled or fried broccoli.

Are microwaves bad for your health?
The cooking method that best retains nutrients is one that cooks quickly, heats food for the shortest amount of time, and uses as little liquid as possible. Microwaving meets those criteria. Using the microwave with a small amount of water essentially steams food from the inside out. That keeps in more vitamins and minerals than almost any other cooking method and shows microwave food can indeed be healthy.

But let's not get too lost in the details. Vegetables, pretty much any way you prepare them, are good for you, and most of us don't eat enough of them. And is the microwave oven good or bad? The microwave is a marvel of engineering, a miracle of convenience — and sometimes nutritionally advantageous to boot.

Last time I used a microwave for my food was back in college over 10 years ago. People really can't wait 10+ minutes for food to reheat, that they have no issue blasting radiation on it? How can you continue to enjoy hot food for only 3 minutes then have it ice berg cold? How can you continue to enjoy day old food that suddenly tastes like 6 day old food in 2 minutes? Only thing I use it for is to kill any extra germs after washing my cutting board and dish sponge.

Cook your food in the sample place they warn against putting metal brehs & brehettes
