  1. The only way I could conceive of a health hazard from boiling milk is if the milk was raw and was contaminated with spore forming bacteria like Anthrax or Yersinia (which it could) and the boiling process aerosolizes the spores.Then the fan in the oven would blow the spores away. Most other spore forming bacteria that cause disease are dependent on direct contact with a wound or require a period time to grow in food to produce toxins. Most other disease causing bacteria found in milk are transmitted by ingestion of the milk. Pasteurized milk should harbor no disease causing bacteria. All this is based on RAW milk.

    Microwave is not an efective spore killer.


  2. No, it's not, so long as you wait a sufficient amount of time after it's out of the microwave, there is zero chance of detriment any more than if you boiled it on the stove.

    Just pure physics of Radiofrequency.
