Even Martha Stewart won't use if for tea even if she'd use it for other things.

As long as you are basing it on how you think it makes tea and not on some quack idea of it being unhealthy for you.

Well, FMB brought up the water and iirc due to how I mentioned how bad water tastes in it. However, I don't use it otherwise but don't want to get into it again. Been there done that. Besides, it makes meat taste horrible too. I will melt certain things like marshmallows to make fondant in it but not much else. Oh, yeah maybe to heat a rag or something.

So you are a quack? ;-)

4. Microwaves Damage Your Food and Emit Harmful Radiation

Heating your food in a microwave oven is fast and highly convenient.
However, there are people who believe that this convenience comes at a cost.

They claim that microwaves produce harmful radiation and cause damage to healthy nutrients in foods, and that there are studies showing microwaved food to be downright harmful to health.

But when you go through the literature to look for these studies, they are nowhere to be found.

Microwave ovens are actually designed in a way that doesn’t allow the radiation to escape.

Studies also show that they are even better at preserving nutrients than cooking methods like boiling and frying (17, 18, 19).

Some people don’t want to use microwaves, and that’s fine. But there is no evidence that they cause harm, and no scientifically valid argument to avoid them.
