Microwaves are among the most useful appliances in our kitchens.
They are easy and quick to use. But like all methods of food preparation, there are specific procedures you need to follow when cooking or reheating food in the microwave. Such procedures can prevent you and your family from becoming afflicted by food-borne illness. Some bacteria called pathogens can cause food related illnesses. These are so small however, that you cannot see them with the naked eye.
