Why does auricularia auricula explode when heated in microwave oven?
It is usually caused by moisture in fungi. Whether it is soaked fungus or cooked fungus, it contains a lot of water.

The surface of Auricularia auricula is a tough membranous tissue, which is quite different from other ingredients in the dish. After microwave heating, the water inside the fungus quickly gasifies, and the volume increases, breaking the tough surface of the fungus, just like a plastic bag bursting, making a popping sound.

If you look closely, you can also find that the fungus was blown up, which also proves that the fungus exploded inside.

Matters needing attention in the use of microwave oven

1, don't use ordinary plastic containers: use special microwave utensils to hold food and heat it in the microwave oven. First of all, hot food will deform plastic containers. Second, ordinary plastics will release toxic substances, pollute food and endanger human health.

2. Do not use metal utensils: Because there are utensils such as iron, aluminum, stainless steel and enamel 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.

3. Don't use a closed container: Use a wide-mouth container when heating liquid, because the heat generated by food heating in a closed container is not easy to dissipate, so that the pressure in the container is too high and it is easy to cause 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.
