[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious -- those who avoid the microwave, do you do this because you worry that microwaving isn't healthy?[/quote]

No. I don't generally use it for reheating because most re-heating tastes better in a toaster oven or on the stove. I think some people who use a microwave to reheat everything are imagining that other forms of reheating takes longer than it does. Reheating pizza under the broiler, for example, takes under two minutes and tastes massively better than microwaved pizza. Even some things I would think would re-heat much faster in the microwave than on the stove don't. For example, I would think a microwave would be great at heating soup, but it heats so unevenly that if you're re-heating a larger amount i find it easier to use a pot than to open the microwave and stir a bowl five times.

As others have said, I'm more likely to use it to reheat now that i have kids, because the portion sizes are so tiny it takes 12 seconds to reheat, and a lot of toddler food still tastes ok reheated in a microwave.[/quote]
