Microwaving the food conserves much of the thiamin.
The best way to destroy harmful germs that may be present in food?
Bringing the food to a high enough temperature will kill the bacteria. You can do this by cooking it for a while, frying, roasting or baking. Microwaving food should also kill bacteria but I am not sure whether it is just the microwave radiation that accomplishes this or the food has to become hot enough.
Is microwaving healthy?
No more or less so than food cooked by any other method.
Why is a damp paper towel better to cover your food while microwaving it?
Dampening a paper towel and covering your left overs before microwaving it is better than covering it with plastic wrap. Plastic wrap, when heated releases toxic chemicals and it goes onto the food.
Will microwaving a wet sponge for 2 minutes kill all the bacteria and germs?
Microwaving a wet sponge for 2 minutes can help kill some bacteria and germs, but it may not eliminate all of them. It is more effective to regularly replace sponges or clean them by soaking in a bleach solution and allowing them to air dry.
Can microwave cooking make food carcinogenic?
Microwaving food certainly doesn't make it any healthier. The loss of moisture through microwaving the water cells in the food until rupturing results in free radicals, which can be deemed as carcinogenic.
What keeps most nutrients in food-microwave or boil?
Microwave. Boiling food enables the nutrients to 'leech out' into the boiling water. Microwaving simply agitates the water molecules within the food.

You can, but don't do it regularly. The Styrofoam releases chemicals into the food... microwaving it once in a while is okay, though.
How do they kill their food?
You can not kill food because food is not alive.
Is microwave oven cooked food can you eat safely?
Yes, microwaving it for 2-4 minutes has been showed in studies to kill 99-100% of the bacteria.... however, some bacteria produce a natural toxin, that is poisonous to us, and microwaving the meat is ineffective at "deactivating it, so I'd say after more than a few hours, just throw it out :(
