Turkey pot pies have even more ingredients, especially the turkey, which probably requires the most time to cook out of the whole thing. And Turkey isn't like red meat, where you can eat them "medium." It has to be fully cooked or you can get sick. | ||

Usually HALF of a pie! But no one only eats half, lol. You people need to stop ruining the fun in eating these 10 minute meals. We all know they aren't healthy, but god damn do they taste good. Hot pockets? More like fucking nerd pockets. What kind of nerd doesn't eat those things? Speaking of which, I haven't had one in about 2 weeks. I'm pretty sure that's a nerd sin. | ||

Essentially, microwaves heat up food by exciting electrons and vibrating molecules, specifically water. These are processes on the atomic and molecular scale. There is nowhere near enough energy to induce a nuclear reaction which is what you would need to make your food "radioactive". The term "nuke" your food is very misleading. | ||

Ovens also make stuff taste a lot better than microwaves, since microwaves leave the food mushy, while ovens make it crispy. We should have a contest on the longest use of a microwave. I got 23 minutes once. | ||

Yeah I don't microwave stuff that takes ages... I throw it in the oven at that point. I microwave stuff to quickly defrost and then i toss it in a toaster of some sort. An example would be a jamaican patty- nuke for 45 seconds, toss in a toaster/oven for a couple of minutes. Way better than waiting ages for the toaster/oven to defrost and do its thang. | ||

You can determine the wavelength of the microwaves by putting marshmallows in and measuring the distance between the resulting peaks. If you then work out the energy carried by the EM waves, you'll begin to understand how microwaves actually work.

I seem to recall hearing that modern microwaves don't have fixed positions for the maximum constructive interference anymore like the old ones used to (and that's not taking into account the annoyance of the rotating dish for conducting this experiment.

Those things can be baked in the oven, taste better, and take less than fifteen minutes. :| | ||
