this is so dumb

cooking food increases caloric intake. you absolutely get more nutrients from cooked food that is why we cooked food and why we have big brain

I guess the question would be, could you cook food with radioactive material, versus cooking simply with fire? Or stovetop versus charcoal contaminants

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

radioactive material is a loaded word here as heating most things causes them to release infrared radiation which we use to cook often

Sure, this is just questioning if it is healthy or safe to cook the food with a microwave, versus stovetop or a grill
