No doubt. Consider, most mass produced "food" isn't food in the normal sense. It's been highly processed, saturated with chemical compounds and packaged in material... who knows what that shit is.

Microwaves are particularly bad because material can be designed to interact with the energy emitted from the magnatron in a bad way. I won't microwave food because I don't know what chemical compounds are in the food I'm cooking. I'll microwave water in a glass container, but that's the extent of my microwave use.

I haven't had a microwave since 2002, haven't regretted it once. They're easily replaced with a kettle and toaster oven.
The only time I like to use a microwave now is at the odd party where people haven't seen the grape plasma trick, that's always fun to show lol

Saw a video showing plants watered with regular tap water grow healthier than plants fed with water that had been microwaved for just one minute then cooled. Something to think about if you’re heating the water for tea or coffee and etc.

Interesting.

Then there’s a whole thing about “water memory” that is as controversial as it is interesting as well.

Popcorn is not good in any form. Microwave or not.

i still enjoy the air-popped stuff - get the kernels from the Amish, has made a difference (digestively speaking) versus store-bought kernels. That said, I stopped eating nuker-corn years ago, then I found out a couple years ago the chemicals in those bags, when nuked, are toxic to birds and the fumes will kill 'em (we have parrots). We had to get rid off all 'non-stick' as well. all stainless, cast iron, and carbon steel now (actually a blessing in disguise).

stay away from all that shit.

great looking setup. I have been pleased. Our irons are a few years old now - seasoned beautifully, and our carbon steels are my favorite to cook with thus far. never going back.

i only wish i gave it more thought and effort a lifetime ago when my gran got me my first cast iron.

Thx, I had a great time making it, it turned out way better than I thought it would.

Every time we find a new piece, I do a full strip, either chemical or electrical, and then an initial 3x seasoning cycle before introducing it to the rest of the collection.

I'll add a few new layers to some of the rest of the pans as well, as long as I have the sauna fired up.

It's a very cathartic hobby.

Yep, i've switched to only cast iron or and stainless steel pots with copper bottoms - several i have picked up from the local Salvation army second hand store for like $2 a piece.

Plus have gone back to popping my own from organic corn kernal in an air popper with (100% grass fed) pure butter.

Someone should make a video like this but without the nigger.

They use the same thing to line packages of Kerrygold butter, which is why they had to pull it from California stores when the state outlawed PFOAs in food packaging.

Also, dumb nigger, it's polyfluoroalkyl substances. Acetic acid is vinegar.

As someone who loves their popcorn and who's popping machine broke so switched to bags. This sucks ass.
