Is is safer to stop using the microwave and warm things up using a pan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Microwave is safe: If used properly a microwave is safe. Better to warm things in glass than plastic and and cover with a moist piece of papper towel to prevent splatter. Be careful, since things can getvery hot in a microwave-do not want to get a burn.
