Kelper, thanks but no thanks.

We have a full sized gas cooker in the FC and a slow cooker.
A microwave is for an "occasional" meal or reheat session and not something we would be using for breakfast, dinner and tea.

When I switch on a lightbulb in my house, I do not need to know how the electricity powers that lightbulb, how it was generated or what the safety issues are that surround the generation of electricity.

Much of what I enjoy about camping is having the time to shop in small villages for fresh meat and veg and then spending time preparing and cooking that food.

However, there are times like on arrival at a site when I am too busy setting up to be bothered with the hassle of a full cooked meal, that a microwaved one would be ideal. Likewise there is the odd meal that we need to prepare and eat in a hurry to be somewhere on time.

If there is an issue about meals that are microwaved, perhaps you might be better targeting the restaurant trade where 90% of meals are microwaved rather than those of us that microwave about 10% of our meals.

Well if it wasn't its Trunk then it had two holes to Pee through and it must have been one of the biggest animals to walk the planet!!!

Thanks Kelper but the first link carries no weight at all, and the second is a slightly better version but still not from any recognisable health or scientific body.

If there was this much hazard in them, there would surely be uproar worldwide no???

Having said that, we hardly use ours at home anyway :)

All in all,staring at your chicken pie heating must be safer than staring at,say, channel 5.Only in one of these scenarios are you eyeballs likely to boil.

Well, the first one does cite respectable sources ... e.g. British Medical Journal etc ...
There are lots of lousy things about which there is no worldwide uproar!
I microwaved our evening meal, tonight .... kitchen is being rebuilt ... and will do so again tomorrow ... but, I do think the jury 'is out' on microwaves ...
But, I absolutely agree that there is no concensus ...
either way.
