Frozen vegetables, cooked lightly in the microwave in a covered glass dish, such as corning ware, require no extra cooking water. They steam in their own juices. (but what is added in the ingredients)~~~~What is not mentioned here is that every vegetable has been prepared for freezing by blanching - which is to say, parboiled in water!! While they maintain more nutritive value than canned veggies (shudder), they've still been fiddled with ... IN WATER!!What really bothers me about microwaving food is something I wouldn't begin to understand how to measure, and I don't believe anyone else knows, either: I think it kills the ~energy~ of the food.My opinion only, and it's entirely subjective, I am aware. My DH reheats his leftovers using the microwave. <shrug> It's his decision, and I wouldn't remove the option of his having a choice even if I could. Just as long as no one forces ME to do it.Ev"A hundred million miracles are happening every day!",_._,___

When I read about the damage microwaves do to soft tissue, especially in little kids (and the sudden SKY ROCKET in brain rumors when microwaves were legalized) I started believing it does destroy food.... And who knows what BAD things it puts into it.CandaceSent from my iPhoneOn May 24, 2010, at 2:33 PM, evelyn bailey <autumn3scorpio@...> wrote:
