However, I was referring to zapping those chicken nuggets for children. It destroys the meat's flavor and nutrition. |

Who buys uncooked frozen seafood or who would freeze fresh seafood?
It should only be bought fresh on the day you're going to eat it ideally. The texture and flavor changes and not for the better. Only think I'd eat frozen fish when it's something like fish sticks as a quickie meal. |

Um what? Any form of cooking causing nutrients to be lost. You simply must avoid over-cooking to avoid a big loss of nutrients. However, microwaving really isn't near the top of the bad list, especially for something like Chicken Nuggets. That's a total myth.

If you have the time, put it in a bowl of cold tap water and change out the bowl every half hour. That will do most steaks or chicken in under an hour, even in the fridge as water is a very effective heat conductor. |

Oh well! I've survived this long.
Wouldn't the stove or oven heat kill any germs? |

A well-trained nutritionist and most natural health people will tell you the microwave is actually destructive to food. But even to those who don't believe that, will tell you to never use it for meat. Even Martha Stewart will tell you not to use of for many things as it alters the flavor and taste even if water. Even tea tastes blah from microwaved water. |

So where is the evidence?Microwaves work differently than a conventional heat source. |

I'm not going to get into a debate about whether the microwave is safe or isn't, or if we're frying our brains and making us all infertile... I will argue that the microwave doesn't destroy the nutrients if you're using it right (with a small amount of water to create a steaming effect). |

I used to use it, just never for meat. Results not so great. I used to use it for veggies, as cooking faster or in less time preserves nutrients on them. Baked potatoes were never as good as in the oven. It was a a texture change. You could see it and taste it. So it can't do certain things well. Same with tea. Tastes horrible and I can tell when someone serves me tea made in one. I haven't used it for meals in ten years. Only to melt something like marshmallows to make fondant for decorations. |
