heating of food the molecular structure is changed to a state which

consumption.


You're probably more at risk from the hormones and other
"enhancements" they put in the food chain than you are from
microwave cooking.


As well as heating plastics.


I still use my mothers Corningware set. You can't buy them like that anymore.
Glass top and ceramic bottom, with the lips for attaching the handle.

I also have a larger ceramic top and bottom.

If you cook hot dogs, use a ceramic butter tray. Holds one dog.
The tray insures even steam heating.
