Microwaves are an almost indispensable device in every family thanks to their convenience and ease of daily use. However, this device contains many risks if used incorrectly.
Accordingly, housewives need to pay attention to some ways when using the microwave oven that are both safe for themselves and ensure nutrition.
Boiling eggs
This is one of the basic mistakes that housewives often make. The pressure inside the egg increases rapidly when encountering microwaves, which will cause an explosion. The reason is that eggs are liquid protein foods, if encountered with heat, they will solidify and cause the protein layer to break down.
Boiling eggs in the microwave is very dangerous when leading to explosions when boiling eggs in the microwave. Housewives should refer to the secret to boiling eggs in the microwave properly to ensure safety for themselves.
Metal items, aluminum foil
Housewives also have a habit of roasting food in the microwave with utensils with metal borders, aluminum or stainless steel membranes that are prone to high fire and explosion risks.
Use specialized dishes with safe symbols for microwaves to achieve optimal efficiency when heating food.
Heating food for too long
Housewives are also often subjective when setting the food heating time too long. Food that is overheated will easily cause fire and explosion and burn the food.
Therefore, adjusting when heating according to each type of food will help achieve enough heat while limiting fire and explosion, ensuring safety for the family.
Heating with a heat-resistant plastic box
Many types of single-use plastic boxes that are not prescribed to rotate food microwave ovens will affect health. The reason is that these types of plastic boxes will melt when exposed to high temperatures, causing toxic chemicals to seep into food, which is very bad for users.
Maintain the habit of heating food in the microwave with porcelain or heat-resistant glass bowls, which both helps ensure food safety and prevents the risk of toxic substances when eating.
