Micro, means small or electro magnetic waves, and are a form of radiant energy. Microwaves are colorless, odorless and tasteless and cannot be seen by naked eye. Microwaves travel at the speed of light and have a frequency of 2450 MHz (for those used in microwave ovens). Microwaves vibrate with a frequency of 2450 MHz, i.e. 2450 million times per second. Microwaves have a special affinity towards water, sugar and fat.

When using a microwave to thaw RMBs, you must be extremely careful, as the microwave can begin to cook the food from the inside (the bones) out. Thawing RMBs in the microwave is NOT the recommended method. NEVER, EVER give your dog a cooked bone, as it can splinter and cause severe internal complications. The safest method of thawing is room temperature or, if you're in a bit of a hurry, soak the RMBs in cold water in the kitchen sink. Back to top of page

No. All baby foods may be served warm, at room temperature or cold. However, we recommend that you warm Microwave Meals before serving to achieve the best possible taste and texture.

Microwave ovens are a technological breakthrough and a great convenience. However, microwave ovens are also a source of radiation that contaminates our food and our home. Despite reassurances from the FDA and oven manufacturers, microwave radiation is a potential cause of serious illness, including cancer. Homeowners can buy radiation-detecting devices, but these devices are notoriously unreliable. So I prefer to err on the side of safety and avoid microwave ovens.

Microwaves are not permitted in the residences. The Residence Life office in conjunction with the Student Government Association has a program that offers the Microfridge, a combination refrigerator and microwave. If you are interested in renting a Microfridge, you may contact The Refrigerator Company at http://www.therefrigeratorcompany.com/.

No. The uneven heat of a microwave prevents the dough from browning and baking through. You can use a convection/microwave oven to bake our cookies.

At Amy’s Kitchen, we make sure that all the plastic films and coatings used in the packaging of our frozen products are safe to use. The concern about the use of plastic films and coatings in food packaging is based on research showing that some plastics, including PVC, have plasticizers in them that could leak into food at low levels. Because of this, Amy's Kitchen requires that all plastic films and coatings used in the packaging of our frozen products be free of plasticizers.

Microwave blanching may not be as effective as other methods, since research has shown that some enzymes may not be inactivated. This could result in off flavors and loss of texture and color. Those wishing to run the risk of low quality vegetables by microwave blanching should be sure to work in small quantities, using the directions for their specific microwave oven. Microwave blanching will not save time or energy.

No, they do not retain heat. Nothing happens when they are put in the microwave. The fact that the product doesn't retain heat is a benefit. The knit is breathable and allows heat and sweat to escape to avoid skin irritations. The silicone is very high quality and will not melt.

Yes, but there are certain limitations and only one of each is allowed per room. Microwaves up to .9 cubic feet.　 Refrigerators with a maximum capacity of 4.5 cubic feet, 115 volt 60 cycle AC, 230 watts, 2 amp (when running).

Is it safe to eat leftover food that was left out on the counter to cool at dinnertime, then forgotten until morning? Will additional cooking kill the bacteria that may have grown

Ceramics may become hot to the touch when heated in the microwave. In addition, bubbles in the clay may cause the pieces to break or develop fine cracks. We recommend that, if necessary, you use the microwave with caution.

No, you cannot, but with every specialty package order you will receive one of our famous microwavable jumbo soup mugs.

Microwaves are a cinch to clean compared to conventional ovens! And if you just get in the habit of wiping yours out after each use, you may never need to do a serious cleanup. It's not a bad idea to always cover dishes with a paper towel to keep spatters off the walls. If you have globs of food, you can hit it with a paper towel, cloth or white nylon-backed scrub sponge dampened with dish detergent and water.

If there is a microwave included it will be stated on the 'House Details' page. Instructions on how to access this page are included in your offer letter.

Some products are prepared and frozen in such a way that they may be unsuitable for microwaving. The cooking directions on the package will unlock the great taste of each Seapak shrimp product.

Fifty-percent power is the same as power level 5, medium, medium-low and in some cases, the defrost settings on microwaves. If your microwave only has one setting, you can heat the product on high for half the amount of time, then check it. If it is not done, continue cooking on high but check every 30-60 seconds to keep it from overcooking. The fat listed on our package accounts for all the fat in the product, including the polyunsaturated, monounsaturated and saturated fat.

Electromagnetic radiation consists of waves of electric and magnetic energy moving together (i.e., radiating) through space at the speed of light. Taken together, all forms of electromagnetic energy are referred to as the electromagnetic "spectrum." Radio waves and microwaves emitted by transmitting antennas are one form of electromagnetic energy. They are collectively referred to as "radiofrequency" or "RF" energy or radiation.

Point-to-point microwave antennas transmit and receive microwave signals across relatively short distances (from a few tenths of a mile to 30 miles or more). These antennas are usually rectangular or circular in shape and are normally found mounted on a supporting tower, on rooftops, sides of buildings or on similar structures that provide clear and unobstructed line-of- sight paths between both ends of a transmission path or link.
