Cooking corn on the cob?

[CrealCritter]

Radiofrequency radiation is not really harmful unless you're in it's path and close to source since it's non-ionizing. It just excites the water molecules. Because it cooks food fast, it does less harm to the nutrients. Many nutrients and vitamins are destroyed by long cooking. They also escape into water when boiling.

So boiling is the absolute worst way to cook anything.


That said, I rarely use my microwave. I don't like how the texture turns out since everything is basically steamed from within.

I thought the microwaves that we have in our homes are short (micro) wave lengths generated by electromagnetic radiation. Radio waves are long waves, used to transmit natural sounds (like a human voice (modulation)) amplified many times over. Over certain long wave frequencies.
