Potentially hazardous food really shouldn't be cooked in the microwave. However, the internal temperature of the food must reala minimum of 165 degrees fahrenheit.
No. Potentially hazardous food (which it is) should not be left out for more than 2 hours - at which time it should be re-heated or refrigerated.
The Nutella and milk heated up in the microwave will not do anything to you.
Microwave energy is electromagnetic (EM) radiation, and microwave ovens use energy at a frequency of about 2450 MHz (2,450 million cycles per second). This energy is in the microwave band of frequencies, hence the term microwave oven. The frequency is a good choice, because it is quite effective in causing dielectric heating in molecules in the food. This is because there are a lot of molecules within the food that will respond to the microwave energy. These molecules, because they have an electric dipole, will attempt to align themselves with the passing electromagnetic wave. They will be trying to turn back and forth at that 2450 MHz, and this generates heat, which warms/cooks the food.
The purpose is to get the food heated evenly more efficiently. Instead of having cold spots in your food when it spins its more likely to get cooked properly.
no
Convection ovens contain a fan, which is used to circulate the heated air around the item being cooked inside the microwave oven. This allows the food to be cooked much faster, while at the same time cooking the food at a lower temperature. The temperature used for cooking in a convection oven is about 20% less than in a regular microwave oven.
Potentially hazardous food should not be left unrefrigerated for more than 2 hours. Make that one if the ambient temperature is very warm. At that point, it should be refrigerated or re-heated.
yes it can yes it can
All a microwave does is send microwaves through objects and speed up the molecules. The reason the plants died is because the water was hot.

The parts of the egg (proteins) have become denatured when heated (cooked).
Standing time is important because the food is still cooking for a minute after removal from the microwave. A bit of standing time also allows for temperature equalization in the cooked item(s). Experienced microwavers know that when we nuc something, it doesn't necessarily come out evenly heated.
