The microwave is an indispensable kitchen appliance for many families.Just a little time and you have hot meals.
The operating principle of the microwave is based on the use of microwave waves (microwave) to cook food from the inside out.The microwave has a frequency of about 2,450 mhz, when it is emitted, they interact with water molecules, fats and organic substances in food, causing them to oscillate and produce heat due to friction between feces.Death, from which to heat the food.
This method cooks food faster than gas stoves or infrared stove and more energy saving because of only food heating, not the surrounding air.
Overall, this device is quite convenient and time -saving.However, the microwave also has limitations, may even become a "bomb" if used improperly.Many families add greasy food to the microwave.Is this approach correct?

The reason is because when heating the microwave, the food will immediately heat up.The dishes with low water content, high fat content will easily burn.This process not only produces substances that are harmful to health but also at risk of explosion.
For example, leftover barbecue, bacon, fried skewers, fried meat ... are not suitable.
In addition to greasy foods, you also need to avoid spinning some of the following foods in the microwave.
1. Water
It is true that it is not to use a microwave to boil water.In particular, pure water cannot be boiled in this device.When the microwave arises, all water is heated at the same time, there is no circulation inside the water and it will not turn to gas.Instead it will form an overheating liquid, there will be no boiling phenomenon.If there is external force, the water moves at this time, such as with the hand of the water, the water inside will boil strongly, causing burns.
2. Food with closed -shelled
Foods with membranes or shells, such as eggs, are not suitable for warming with microwave and can be easily exploded and injured for users.Many people put eggs in the microwave and then they exploded.
If you open the door in a hurry, the egg can explode right before your eyes, not careful, you may be injured in your eyes or face, this is very dangerous.Sometimes, eggs may explode when it has been taken out.According to experts, we should not warm all kinds of eggs (chickens, ducks, geese, quails, ...) and chestnuts that have not been cut in the microwave.
If you want to rotate eggs, you can peel the eggs and stir well or at least create a few holes on the egg yolk, because on the surface of the egg yolk, there is a film, this film can also splash when heatedIn the microwave.

3. Some fruits
Some fruits can withstand high temperatures, but not all fruits can.For example, grapes, blueberries, tomatoes ... put into the microwave can cause explosion.
In addition, dried peppers are not suitable to put in the microwave because they are too dry, easy to catch fire and can cause stinging eyes as soon as you open the microwave door.It is like a pepper spray, which can cause eye irritation and damage the respiratory tract.
The microwave is suitable for warming the milk (do not put directly into the closed box), soup, porridge, other cakes, other foods with high moisture ... You can spray some water on food to make food softer than.Of course, you must control the device and time for food not to dry out.
The device is really convenient if used properly, but if used improperly, it can be harmful to health or endanger.
Note that the metal material should not be used in the microwave because the metal reflects the wave and can cause sparks.Instead, use glass, ceramics or heat -resistant plastic as a cooking utensils in the oven.
