Can chestnuts be heated in the microwave?

Chestnuts can be heated in a microwave oven. If they are fried, cracked or shelled, there is no problem at all. If it is raw chestnut, it can also be roasted in microwave oven, but it should be noted that the heated raw chestnut must be cut in advance, otherwise it will explode when roasted in microwave oven, and the high temperature heating usually takes about 5 minutes.

Method for roasting chestnuts in microwave oven

1. Wash the chestnuts you bought.

2. Draw a cross on the chestnut with a knife.

3. Put chestnuts in a clean container and add appropriate amount of sugar and oil.

4. Add a little water to the soaked chestnuts and put them in a special bowl for microwave oven (pay attention to the empty bowl cover to let them breathe).

5. Put in the microwave oven and turn to high heat 15 minutes.

6. Take out, shake the chestnuts and turn to high heat for 5 minutes.

Tips:

1, chestnuts must be cut and put into the microwave oven, so they must be washed first, so that they can be kept clean after soaking in water;

2. The ratio of sugar to oil is not required. You can add more sweet ones. Adding the right amount of oil also ensures the color of chestnuts and will not be too dry in the microwave oven.

3. The box put into the microwave oven must have holes, and leave some soaked sugar and oil in it, so that chestnuts coming out of the microwave oven will not be too dry;

4. The microwave time is for reference only, and it is also related to the size of chestnuts. If you stop halfway, you can take it out and taste it, and then increase or decrease the time yourself.

What can't be heated in a microwave oven?

1, common plastic container

One is that hot food will deform plastic containers, and the other is that ordinary plastics will release toxic substances, pollute food and endanger human health. Use a special microwave oven to hold food and put it in the microwave oven for heating.

2. Metal utensils

Because there are iron, aluminum, stainless steel, enamel and other utensils in the furnace, electric sparks will be generated when the microwave oven is heated, which will not only damage the furnace body, but also heat the uncooked food.

Step 3 close the container

Wide-mouth containers should be used when heating liquid, because the heat generated by heating food in a closed container is not easy to dissipate, which makes the pressure in the container too high and easily leads to blasting accidents. Even if you cook food with shells, you should pierce the shells with needles or chopsticks in advance to avoid bursting after heating, splashing out to pollute the furnace wall or hurting people.

5. Medium-cooked meat

Because bacteria will still grow in half-cooked food, it is impossible to kill all bacteria by microwave heating for the second time because of the short time. Frozen meat must be thawed in the microwave oven before it is heated and cooked.

6. Fried food

Oil will splash at high temperature, causing fire. In case of accidental fire in the furnace, don't open the door, turn off the power first, and then open the door to cool down after the fire is extinguished.
