400275 2005-10-31 02:15:00 Healthy fresh capsicums don't normally rot over 48 hours. It was the heat alone that was the cause of it's premature demise.


Hmmm...... :confused:

That's exactly what I said: temperature, not microwaves, speeding up natural decay processes. Still, I'm glad your radiation concerns are relieved.

Buy fresh - keep cool will be your capsicum motto from now on no doubt.

Capsicums are best stored in the fridge, to keep them fresh. We've stored red capsicums in the fridge for close to a week and a half, without any noticable "overripening".

What your situaiton might be is heat - you will notice that the top of the microwave gets hot, due to heat rising during cooking.

speeding up natural decay processesDecay had nothing to do with it. It was just partially cooked by the heat. Stop getting pedantic and stick to your electrics/electronics and vaccuum cleaner sales and repairs. Leave food and cooking to your wife and others who know better.

400280 2005-10-31 05:15:00 all I know is that it was a horrible song about an enjoyable day out, and it was on a Solid Gold compilation about 25 years ago....

Horrible enough to be from Wales I supose.

Jeez you're an irascible bugger Greg, you are so desperate to score points you don't bother to read what is posted. Rule No. 1: Never let the facts get in the way of a good argument.

Firstly, I didn't claim that I said anything first, all I said was that temperature was responsible for accelerating its demise, not microwaves.

Secondly, the top of a microwave doesn't get hot enough to fry an egg, let alone cook a capsicum which (if fresh) can remain crisp-ish in a stir-fry and certainly doesn't go soggy. There is an air space between the cavity and the top and sides of the case which helps keep it from getting too hot.

There's no need to get all acidic over the demise of a capsicum, it wasn't microwaved so your vitals haven't been cooked, and that's all you need to worry about. Get over it, move on, send your collected quotes to the Readers Digest, maybe even go buy a vacuum cleaner, or some fresh capsicums.

400283 2005-10-31 18:39:00 A question...Is it futile to try and use reason with someone that is unreasonable?
