Five kinds of containers for microwave heating.

(1) glassware: glassware made of borosilicate glass, microcrystalline glass and titanium oxide crystal glass is suitable for long-term use in microwave ovens because of its good microwave penetration, stable physical and chemical properties and high temperature resistance (up to 5 degrees Celsius or even 1 degrees Celsius).

(2) Ceramic ware: There are heat-resistant ceramics and ordinary ceramics. Pots, plates and other utensils made of heat-resistant ceramics are suitable for long-term use in microwave ovens, while ordinary ceramic utensils can only be used for short-term heating. In particular, it should be reminded that ceramic utensils containing gold and silver wires will spark when used in microwave ovens, so they are not suitable for use.

(3) Plastic utensils: all kinds of utensils made of polypropylene, polypropylene resin, composite polypropylene, polysulfone and other materials, which can withstand temperatures above 12 degrees Celsius and can be used for microwave heating. Vessels made of PET resin and polyester materials can withstand temperatures above 22 degrees Celsius and can be used for barbecue.

(4) Metal utensils: All kinds of utensils made of metal materials such as aluminum, stainless steel and enamel can't be penetrated by microwaves, so the food in them can't be heated, so they are not suitable for use in microwave ovens. Moreover, when touching the metal, the inner wall of the furnace will strike a light, so it cannot be used. Note that it is also easy to damage the microwave oven when using metal utensils.

(5) Wood, paper and other utensils: In the wet state, these utensils can be used in the microwave oven for a short time. However, if the time is long, the drying of the vessel will lead to over-combustion. These painted utensils are forbidden to be used in the microwave oven, because there is benzene in the paint, which will be emitted by microwave heating and pollute the food. Therefore, for the sake of safety and health, it is better to choose a microwave lunch box made of glass or ceramic.

Taboos for using microwave oven:

One of the taboos for using microwave oven: Do not use microwave oven to warm the baby's milk, because it is easy to burn the baby when the milk is unevenly heated. In addition, it will destroy the nutrients of milk.

The second taboo of using microwave oven: Do not use microwave oven to dry clothes or soften hardened nail polish to prevent fire.

the third taboo of microwave oven use: avoid removing food from the microwave oven by hand. After heating, the container and lid often accumulate steam and absorb the hot air of food, which becomes very hot. Heat-proof gloves or mats should be used to prevent burns.

taboo 4: avoid working in front of the microwave oven for a long time: after turning on the microwave oven, people should stay away from the microwave oven or stay at least 1 meter away from the microwave oven.

the fifth taboo of microwave oven use: avoid using the same socket with other electrical appliances, and use a socket with a single power supply and a ground wire.

No.6 when using microwave oven: Avoid heating meat until it is half-cooked. Because bacteria will still grow in half-cooked food, it is impossible to kill all the bacteria when heating it in microwave oven for the second time because of the short time. Frozen meat must be thawed in the microwave oven before being heated into cooked food.
