No, not unless you are cooking yourself in it.

Its bad to ur health especially when cooking meat inside it there are tendencies that meat cant be cook as u see it what u see is it is cooked but what u dont know is its raw. if meat is not properly cooked there are possibilities that germs in it could be eaten.. if this germs enter the body it could eat ur organs so beware! one factor too is the radiation is not natural ones its like just artificial.. so the way u cook food is not natural use the microwave just to preheat food not cook food in it.. and use it only 4 emergencies like when there are unexpected guests..

Surprisingly, after checking next question, I came to this one. Here's part of an email, which was sent to me: "I have known for years that the problem with microwaved anything is not the radiation people used to worry about, It's how it corrupts the DNA in the food so the body can not recognize it. So the body wraps it in fat cells to protect itself from the dead food or it eliminates it fast. Think of all the Mothers heating up milk in these "Safe" appliances. What about the nurse in Canada that warmed up blood for a transfusion patient and accidentally killed them when the blood went in dead. But the makers say it's safe. Never mind then, keep using them. Ask your Doctor I am sure they will say it's safe too. Proof is in the pictures of living plants dying. Remember You are also Living. Take Care." I hope the above information will assist you in determining what to cook in your microwave.

OK so no cooking live things (my baked blood will die!?!) If you are actually using the microwave for cooking it is a very safe cooking method and it is actually healthier to cook your vegetables in the microwave (you don't need to use water that drain of nutrients and don't need as long of a cooking time that break down nutrients) http://www.aces.edu/dept/extcomm/newspaper/sept10c02.html No Link Between Microwave Cooking and Cancer, Expert Says if you’re really intent on reducing potentially harmful trace amounts of carcinogens in your food during cooking, she advises giving your frying pan a rest instead.

I hope not,I have been doing it since the invention of the micro-wave. In many ways I think it is better for your health.

No, Cooking food in the microwave every other day or every day for that matter is not harmful to your health. Well, I take that back, If you have a pace maker, then its not a good idea to be using the microwave oven. I nuke veggies, meat, make brownies and I'm not glowing...lol You do need a little water when you do use the microwave to keep whatever you are cooking moist not so much for the nutrients, but to keep your food from drying out.

Not unless you are cooking your food in plastic containers or using plastic wrap to cover the food. The latest warning from John Hopkins Hospital is they produce toxic gases that can cause cancer. Use glass and if u must cover, a paper towel will do.
