what happens when you put a rice cake in the microwave??

I don't know but you should try it...don't try shampoo though...it will smell up the house a horrible smell. LOL

one time i saw someone put metal in a microwave and all of a sudden electricity was shooting around in the inside of the microwave. it was awesome

yes, throw your microwave away, it is poisoning our food, then we eat that poison. Go to naturalcures.com to learn some eye opening facts about the food and health industry

No.  But if that microwave oven is all that old and worn out that the seal is actually broken, get rid of it.\nThen if you are worried about getting cancer, go on a vegetarian diet wherein you're getting a lot of fresh raw fruits and salad vegetables, a little raw nuts and seeds daily if you can chew them, and otherwise use a blender. And in summer if you feel that to look great you must lay out in the hot sun for hours and tan, better stop that as this can catch up with one and can bring on skin or other cancer.

That's completely untrue! There is a microwave at almost anybody's house in Japan. It's very commonly used to heat food.\nThere are people who are concerned about the electromagnetic wave that a microwave releases while it's in use. I think it's same as a microwave in the states. (my mom tells me to stay away from the microwave while heating food! She's too conscious!!) This electromagnetic wave are in doubt that it could cause some damage in our brain. But it's not proved yet. And most people don't really care. \nSo everyone uses microwave for heating food in Japan! I'm sure of this.

Your questions don't pack the usual punch they have in the past. Are you running out of outrageous scenarios for us?  Based on your husband's faux past behavior I seriously doubt that he even allows you to use the microwave. I don't believe you even have a microwave. He's such a controlling old fashioned stifling phony spouse that he would never allow that appliance in the house. \n\nBut here's my advice: buy some of those flimsy paper plates and wear socks on your hands.

not that i know of, in fact my microwave puts additional flavor in my food, but i haven't cleaned it ever nor have i put a lid on anything, and i don't use a plate, i put my lasagna on the rotating tray, then remove it with my paws, then i cook macaroni in the microwave, i put the noodles and water and cheese powder and milk on the rotating tray, then i pour my cereal on it too, just fo kicks, all my friends love it, only kidding, i can't believe you fell for that, i don't really have friends, wahhhhh!!!

It would depend upon the power of the microwave and the shape of the container the water is in.

A microwave makes food hot by causing the protons and electrons in the food move about quickly.  The microscopic particles in a regular plate won't move as quickly as the ones in the food and therefore, won't get hot as fast.  Metal, on the other hand, has microscopic particles which start reacting to the microwave energy very quickly.  These little bundles of energy start moving so fast that they begin sparking in your microwave oven.  This is why you can't put aluminum foil in your microwave and also why you can't cook in the microwave with gold trimmed plates.

Hmm, I'm sitting here thinking about how microwaves work (yes, I do know how). If the pills have moisture in them (which I'm sure they do), then the electons in the pills can get energized by the microwaves and change the substance of the pills completely. The heat from the outside of the microwave itself though can alter the chemicals in the pills. It might be unlikely that anything happened to yours, but I'd just be on the safe side about it.

I sure hope so, since I've been eating microwaved food for more than 40  years.  Microwaves are just another way of heating food for cooking.  If anythiing, some foods (mainly vegetables) cooked in a microwave are heathier than stove top cooking since very little water is used that can dissolve vitamins and minerals.

Microwave ovens use microwaves (obviously) specifically designed to be absorbed only by the food. However, when the food gets hot, heat is then transfered to the dish. Technically, the microwave only (directly) heats the food.\nIn contrast, all a convectional oven does is heat everything inside, regardless of what it is. In this case, the dish usually heats up more quickly because it has a lower specific heat, depending on what food is in the dish.

Sock full of beans or rice, heat for 2 minutes in microwave or pan on stove over low heat and put it on your ear.  the heat should give you some comfort. I have suffered with ear infections all my life this works.  I have to use ear drops and had to have a tube put in.  Heat works my friend,  hot as you can stand it but not too hot to burn.

Normal microwaves to not form a homogeneous field of microwaves inside. Normally that does not matter, because you are placing something pretty big inside. A moving turntable tries to minimize the effect of spots of inequal heating. Placing something as small as radish seeds inside may not have exposed the seeds to much or even any microwave radiation, depending where you put it (and especially the floor of a microwave may not get any radiation).\nIn addition microwave radiation mainly stimulates vibration of water molecules, it does not have much effect on many other molecules as fat. Seeds contain much fat, so you probably would need to heat them up for a while. \nMaybe a fun experiment would be trying out how much microwaves heat up different things, compare water, margerine, butter, maybe crisco?, paraffin (have you ever tried melting paraffin candles in a microwave). \nAnd if you want some special effect put an old CD you definitely don't want any more (it will be destroyed, but with a pretty pattern on the metal layer) for not more than 2 secs into the microwave.

Almost anything with an electric motor. (the starter on your car)\nElectric locks, relays (that clunk when you turn on the microwave)\nThe microwave itself (something called a magnetron inside which makes the radar waves that cook the food).

Cause if you ate the whole cake, it went down into your stomach and some was burned up as you used energy, some was eliminated, and some stored as fat.  So you only get to keep the part that was stored as fat, not the WHOLE cake.\n\nOf course, you could keep it in the freezer or fridge, and eat a little piece a day; then you'd have your cake and eat it, too. Until it was all gone; then see my first few lines.

well, how about a microwave's affect on a potato, compared to visible light, or radio length waves.\n\nwith enough energy, you could get some heat-up (absorption) at most any frequency but not the inside out efficient heating that you get with microwaves.
