I hear these concerns in real life and as per my longer post above, I don't understand the threat model. My oven and stove can also cook meat. It's what they do. What is the actual concern? I feel I have burned myself on ovens and stoves a lot more than I have on microwaves in my life (let alone the risks in popular gas stoves etc). I am genuinely curious what is the delta and differentiating factor making microwaved mystically scary?
