I'm not talking about making frozen dinners because I know thats unhealthy, but lets say you're making oatmeal..is it better for you to make it on the stove rather than the microwave?

I cook my oatmeal in the microwave, The secret to having it aste like pan cooked is pour the requirded water in the oatmael and let if sit until water is absorbed then microwave it. It's healthy as long as you NEVER cook any foods in plastic or styrofoam containers and don't cover with plastic wrap. Microwaving plastic releases dioxins.

If you make oatmeal on the stove, it will taste better. If you are going to use the microwave to make oatmeal, be sure to buy the instant oatmeal. Regular oats will not taste good in the microwave because it won't be able to cook the oats thoroughly like the stove can.

I try to make things on the stove, but if I do make them in the microwave, I always use a glass container instead of plastic. They say now that harmful chemicals in the plastic leach onto your food when heated in the microwave.

I don't think it's unhealthy unless you stand right next to the microwave when it's on. Most things taste better stove cooked though.

most things taste better made on the stove or in the oven, but theres nothing wrong with using the microwave every once in a while.

Microwaves are dandy ... but they should be checked for leakage on a regular basis. Detectors are available at Radio Shack. You only want to cook what's inside your microwave ...not the people outside.

Yes...it's better to use the stove. The microwave agitates the molecules inside your head, causing you to eventually make many rash decisions to blow apart the world you live in...

NO, I don't think so. I always use the microwave. It's faster. Just don't put a plastic cover on it. It will melt on the food.

no difference...its just a different form of heat energy being transfered to the food from the oven or microwave...both are completely safe...i prefer oven though...it cooks more evenly
