You would have to probably seriously over cook it to kill ecoli. My advise would be lay off the spinich for awhile. Gotta hate it for Popeye!!

No...Microwaves (even those w/ turntables) do not heat food evenly. All food must be heated to at least 160 F before bacteria are killed.

Only if the temperature is uniformly raised over 160 F.
