If you eat the whole microwave, you don’t have to worry about thawing your food anymore, just remove from freezer and consume.

Awesome workout today!

@Becky – Good point! I was going to cover this, but I realized I already wrote a novel. Yes, just like Sean talked about in his post covering water bottles, you need to worry about BPA from plastics. The BPA can leach out when you use it to cook in the microwave. So if you’re storing your leftovers in tupperware, you’d be best served to put it in a microwave-safe dish to reheat. Of course, this may not be practical when you’re at work so I wouldn’t freak out over warming up your lunch.

i read every second of this, and although I was confused at some points, your conclusion helped summarize. good one, Marcus. I try to use microwaves as minimal as possible, but they are just too damn convenient, esp @ work.
what about that “don’t heat in plastic” concept that the plastic gets in your food? is that a whole ‘nother post topic?

thanks for all the helpful info marcus, ruth and sean!
