Taboos for using microwave ovens

1, avoid using ordinary plastic containers: first, hot food will deform plastic containers, and second, ordinary plastics will release toxic substances, pollute food and endanger human health.

2. Avoid using metal utensils: As iron, aluminum, stainless steel, enamel and other utensils are put into 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 food.

3. Avoid using closed containers: use wide-mouth containers when heating liquids, because the heat generated by food heating in closed containers is not easy to dissipate, which makes the pressure in the containers too high and easily leads to blasting accidents.

Matters needing attention in the use of microwave oven

1. Food thawed by microwave cannot be frozen again. After the meat is thawed in the microwave oven, the surface of the meat has been heated at a low temperature, at which the bacteria can reproduce again. Although food can stop reproduction after freezing, it can't completely kill bacteria. If the food heated by microwave is to be frozen again, it must be heated until it is fully cooked before it can be frozen in the refrigerator.

You can't heat fried food in microwave oven. After fried food is heated at high temperature, high-temperature oil will splash and cause fire. When there is a fire in the furnace, you should not open the oven door, turn off the power first, and then open the door to cool down after the fire is extinguished.

3. When food is heated or thawed in the microwave oven, if you forget to take it out for more than 2 hours, you should throw it away to avoid food poisoning.
