Source? I looked quickly, and all I found was people saying that heating in general has an effect on protein (but we’re going to be heating this cheese a lot whether in the microwave or the conventional oven)
As far as source, I was going off my memory from what an instructor had said when I was taking a culinary arts class several years ago, so nothing I could easily point you to. The original statement as I recall it was that microwaving meat can break down the proteins, and therefore it should be cooked instead of microwaved… but, a quick google doesn’t find anything along these lines, and instead shows many people saying microwaving meat is perfectly fine… so consider that a strong update against my original statement.
It’s possible my memory completely made that statement up, or that the teacher was saying something not widely held to be the case, among other possibilities.
