Tips for Eliminating Microwaves from Your Life
Avoiding microwaves starts by not buying one. If you already have one, just limit its use to things like cleaning your sponges and dishrags. Wet them and then heat for 2 minutes on high. This will help in sterilizing them because they are one of the biggest sources of kitchen contamination.
The following tips for meal preparation will help you minimize the difficulties of transitioning into a life without microwave.
- Raw Foods – Start by taking most of your food as raw. You will get the maximum nutritional value from raw foods. Juicing is a simple, highly effective and quick method to take large amounts of raw vegetables.
- Advanced Preparation – Make sure to have your meals prepared in advance. There will be days when you have too much work or are too tired for cooking your food. This strategy will be helpful on such days. Prepare soups and stews in large amounts and put them into glass mason jars or gallon-sized freezer bags and freeze them. Then, all you will have to do is to defrost in sink water, reheat on stovetop and enjoy your food.
- Use Turbo Oven – As already mentioned above, this is a healthier and affordable option compared to microwave oven. You can use it for reheating leftovers or cooking your meals. It will take just half the time against conventional ovens, and the foods will be both nutritious and tasty.
- Use a Convection Oven / Toaster Oven – These ovens make it easier to heat leftovers. Make sure that these ovens are used at the low-temperature ranges of 200 to 250°F. Warm your food gently over longer time – 20 to 30 minutes.
This may seem to be spending longer to have your meals warmed, while microwave zapping takes just 5 minutes. However, you will be able to adjust in some time. But with time you will start enjoying the time spent on it. You could use the time to relax, spend time reading or writing, with your family or enjoying some music.
When you take a little more time for your food preparation, it can have a positive effect on other aspects of your life too. Most importantly, you will be able to enjoy a more relaxed and leisurely lifestyle compared to most people. Remember, the more relaxed you are, the more reduced will be your stress levels. Lower stress means that you will have improved digestion, which will further contribute to overall good health and well-being.

My Dr. Has said the same thing about Microwaves. She said it kills too many nutrients. She recommends baking, grilling and steaming foods.

No scientific backing in this post to support claims made. Been using microwaves since they first came on market and consider them safe if used sensibly.
