I'm interested in doing to microwave watering experiment. I have lot of plants that I can try it on.

To reheat most of my food, I just put the food in a slightly heated up pan (cast iron/enameled/glass/stainless steel) that has a little butter on the bottom and is on a low flame. I then put a few drops of water in the pan with the food if it needs it, then I place a lid (glass and stainless steel) on and wait until it's warm. Sometimes I stir it if needed. Some foods can be heated in the oven on a tray. I have a microwave but I probably only use it about 3 or 4 times a year, if that. And I don't stand next to it.

And I don't put my food in plastic containers as much as possible, even for storage. And I would never put acidic or hot food in plastic. Our world is so full of toxins. It's pretty overwhelming when you start learning about grooming supplies, cleaning supplies, the off gassing of products all around us, and so much more...

I’ve known for 20 years that the microwave oven is a DANGEROUS piece of shit. Haven’t had one in the house since. I do have one in my ceramic studio for when my shino glazes crystallize in the winter. When I use it I leave the room!
