If microwaves didn't exist would you die?

[Anonymous]

Fact: 90-100% of all your meals are either instant or microwaved. You are sad.

It seems the future of humanity is secure... for now.

We almost always have excellent restaurant quality meals at my house thanks to my wife who is a great cook. We also use a Breville toaster oven for a lot of the small stuff which makes it better. Microwave is used but rarely, more for popcorn or perhaps reheating in a hurry. Even our hotdogs are mainly done on a skillet.

My microwave is an Amana which was made in may 1984. I know because it's written on the back. I'm pretty sure every time I use it I'm killing myself by increasing my chances of cancer.

[zinithin]

Also, I only use it to warm up coffee and left overs from when I eat out... I rarely cook for myself and just pay others to do it for me.

[SamiJane]

I think the only thing I use my microwave for is to de-thaw mean and cook tea. Both of which I can do without so I think I would be alrgiht. Practically anything you can cook in the microwave you can cook on the stove.

If I wanted to shove my head somewhere, that would be the oven. So I don't know how to answer that.
I'd find a way if I wanted to. People always do. Hah.
I'd survive unless I wanted to die for other reasons.

[chocolateismylover]

I would live forever.

[Prettykangaroos]

Nah, I'd be fine. Mine is actually broken right now. It turns itself on when I open the door, and turns off when I close it instead of the other way around. My ovaries are probably fried from radiation from still trying to use it.

[PT1911]

Get a new one lol

[523206720]

Who uses the microwave that much? Im not allowed to cook and I don't use the microwave to make my meals because I am worried the radiation will give me cancer. I eat sandwiches and raw vegetables instead.

[PT1911]

You have a higher chance of getting cancer from all the radiowaves of cellphones and wireless communication than from your microwave...

[sovetskii13]

I can cook and warm food in the stove and countertop no problem. Done it before and can do it again. It takes longer but it's still easy.

[Hopefuldreamer8]

I barely use mine so I'm sure I'd be fine. Anyway if they didn't exist people wouldn't know any differently.

[canadachic]

I really only use the microwave to heat up leftovers so while it would take more time to do that without one I would be just fine.

[aamy811]

I barely use my microwave. I only use it now I warn up leftovers beside that I don't use it to make my meals

[dipta]

Some of us were already alive before the microwaves came into the scene... same for computers and internet.

[Aizou]

I don't own one.

I also cook all my food myself
and if I don't, my girlfriend does.

So I'd be good without them. ^.^

[Your_boss]

Turn your microwave on for an hour
And keep looking In side.
Then tell me what happened to your eyes

[Belzedla]

Naaa, nope, no way!! I'll be good without a microwave

[douride2]

No I wouldn't die. The only difference would be the length of time it takes to reheat leftovers. hahaha

[Avelyn]

no i wouldn't die, sometimes i feel like eating everything raw and cold, so much i'm lazy...

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

I would not die cause i got brand new one in the spare bedroom lol

[matheus_mb]

Microwaves make things easier, but no, I wouldn't die.

[xkellier94x]

I can cook proper food without the use of a microwave. My brothers wouldn't last a week though.

[Levin]

We have a microwave, but I don't use it. Horrible things.

[SomeoneImportant]

I'm not eating cold pizza. Or anything that is originally suppised to be hot, so yeah, I would be fucked.

[miserybusiness]

I'm in university

My meals are usually ramen and canned food

I'd be screwed

[purpleluv]

People lived when microwaves were not invented soooo... yeah i think ill manage

[Prof_Don]

I cook most of my meals on the stove, so It's not that bad to have microwaves not exist (for me).

[Lizzy32794]

I rarely use my microwave. I actually know how to cook on a stove.

[meatballs21]

I haven't owned a microwave in over two years, I'd be fine.

[chrisbigman]

Why would I die? As long as I have a cast iron skillet, I can cook over a fire (fireplace or fire pit of some sort) or on the oven, if they existed.

[Anno_Domini]

If microwaves disappeared, I'd just keep cooking on a stove. I only use microwaves for reheating food anyways.

[kaitlovesyou]

I wouldn't die, I try to stay away from them as much as possible.

[Anonymous]

Fact: 20% (at most) of my meals are instant or microwaved. We didn't have a microwave for years, and still now we barely every use it.

[Anonymous]

Nope. I can't stand using a microwave. I actually enjoy cooking all my meals.

[Brianvv]

My heart is a miniture microwave oven id die instantly

[nert73]

I'd be fine. I would really miss hot cocoa, though

[dipta]

You'd give up on it because it takes longer to make it the traditional way?

[nert73]

@dipta what if maybe I don't know the traditional way because my parents are too lazy to know?

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

My late maternal grandma was Scots she made
some good Hot Cocoa on top of the stove she
handed her recipe down to me oh it's good i got
buy the stuff to make some it's been so long:-) :P <3

[nert73]

@JustinCaseUDontKnow you're lucky. I've never made hot cocoa anywhere but the microwave, partially because my mom still thinks I'm a toddler and won't let me make anything on the stove

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

Aww sorry :( xoxo

[dipta]

But well, you're old enough to be on here, surely you can browse for a recipe somewhere?
You just have to be careful not to let the milk boil over when you heat it up on the stove and not to burn yourself.

@JustinCaseUDontKnow a bit random, but is that a secret recipe?^^;;

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

i can share it if you want

[nert73]

@dipta did you not read the other comments? My mom thinks I'm a toddler

[dipta]

@JustinCaseUDontKnow Oh yes, I would love to have it, if you don't mind. I've always heard great things about Hot Cocoa from there =D

@nert73 Sorry. I don't know how old you are, but guess you could ask your mom to make it for you while you watch then? Or your grandmother or other adult. Then you could try making it by yourself while they watch and after getting used to it and gaining their trust anytime you wanted.

[nert73]

@dipta my mom is too annoying for that and neither grandma ever makes it like that

[Asker]

And here I didn't think Hot Cocoa would be a truly intense topic. Shows what I know.

[nert73]

@Asker yep exactly 😑

[zombiebabe]

i would die at all forsho

[woohoo_friday]

I don't even have a microwave, haha

[Thingy2]
