Taboos for using microwave oven

1. Avoid heating over time: if food is thawed or heated in microwave oven, if it is forgotten to take it out, it should be discarded if it takes more than 2 hours to avoid food poisoning.

2. Avoid heating ordinary plastic containers in the microwave oven: first, hot food will deform the containers; second, ordinary plastic will release toxic substances, which will pollute the food and endanger human health.

3. Don't heat the meat until it is half-cooked. Because the bacteria in the half-cooked food are not completely killed, even if it is put in the refrigerator, the bacteria will still grow. When it is heated in the microwave again, it is impossible to kill all the bacteria because of the short time. Frozen meat must be thawed in the microwave oven before being heated into cooked food.

4. Avoid using metal utensils: Because metal utensils such as iron, aluminum, stainless steel, enamel, etc. put into the furnace, when heated, the microwave oven will generate electric sparks with them and reflect microwaves, which will not only damage the furnace body but also cook uncooked food.

5. Avoid refreezing the meat thawed in the microwave oven: Because after the meat thawed in the microwave oven, it has actually heated the outer layer at a low temperature, at which bacteria can reproduce. Although refreezing can stop its reproduction, it cannot kill the living bacteria. Meat that has been thawed in the microwave oven must be heated until it is fully cooked if it is frozen in the refrigerator again.

6. Avoid using closed containers: wide-mouth containers should be used when heating liquids, because the heat generated by food heating in closed containers is not easy to dissipate, so that the pressure in the containers is too high, which may easily lead to explosion accidents. Even when cooking food with shells, the shell membrane should be punctured with a needle or chopsticks in advance to avoid bursting and splashing to pollute the furnace wall after heating.

7. Avoid touching food with plastic wrap: When using plastic wrap, it is best not to let it directly touch food during heating. You can put the food in the bottom of a big bowl, seal the mouth of the bowl with plastic wrap or cover it directly with glass or porcelain without plastic wrap, which can also seal the water vapor and make the heating fast and even. Before taking out the food, the plastic wrap can be punctured to prevent it from sticking to the food.

8. Avoid frying food: high-temperature oil will splash and lead to open flame. In case of accidental fire in the furnace, do not open the door, but turn off the power first, and then open the door to cool down after the fire is extinguished.
