Things that can't be put in the microwave oven

Researchers found in experiments that when two grapes were put in the microwave oven, they actually produced an electric arc.

When I was trying to have a big meal when I was heating my hamburger, I watched my hamburger spontaneously ignite in the microwave oven, which almost caused a fire and scared my heart to stop. Can you imagine this psychological shadow?

The microwave oven was so convenient that many people didn't pay attention. Mr. Zhu from Wuhan, Hubei, heated a raw egg on high fire for four minutes. As a result, the egg exploded, causing blindness. < P > American housewives used microwave ovens to heat metal tableware, which caused extensive skin burns.

In Tasmania, Australia, a fire broke out in a residential building, which killed a 9-year-old man. The reason was that a warm bag containing wheat caught fire when it was heated in the microwave oven. By understanding the heating mode of the microwave oven, we can know why the microwave oven is so dangerous

Unique heating mode

Ordinary kitchen utensils are all used to generate heat and transfer it to food to achieve the heating effect, such as the stove

However, the microwave oven itself does not generate heat, but uses its own magnetron to convert electric energy into microwaves and vibrate food molecules, which oscillate rapidly at a speed of 2.45 billion times per second. The macro expression of this shock is that the food is heated

Because of the special heating method, some things must not be put in, which may damage the microwave oven or cause fire or explosion

First, the traditional heating method of eggs is from the outside to the inside, while the heating method of microwave oven is all uniform heating. This makes it very dangerous to heat eggs in microwave oven < P > because the inside of eggs will expand faster than the eggshell when heated, and a lot of water vapor will be generated in the eggs. The water vapor has nowhere to escape, which will lead to boom

Second, metal tableware

Although the metal is stable under normal conditions, it is heat-resistant and nonflammable, but the unique heating method of the microwave oven can make the metal molecules vibrate violently, which makes the metal tableware spontaneously ignite

Fourth, paper bags

No paper items should be put in the microwave oven, which can even ignite metal, let alone flammable paper. You can't put it in the microwave oven, because tin foil contains metal, and it's no good

5. Milk cartons are mostly made of paper, plastic or even lined with tin foil. No matter what kind of material, they are blacklisted from the microwave oven.

6. Plastic containers

Most plastics are not suitable for microwave heating, but can be put into the microwave oven. Don't heat the plastic container unless it is marked as heatable

7. Fruits

Some fruits contain salt ions, which will generate a strong electric field under the vibration of the microwave oven, such as grapes, blueberries, cherry tomatoes, etc., which are likely to cause an explosion when put into the microwave oven

8. Pepper

There is nothing wrong with heating the pepper, but when you open the microwave oven door, it will be emitted from the hot pepper. Don't do this stupid thing, okay?

9. Liquid

When the liquid is heated by microwave, the water will not flow, but the temperature will rise, which may exceed the boiling point and there is no sign of "boiling"

But if there is a slight movement, such as opening the door of the microwave oven, the water inside will boil violently, causing burns

1. Leave nothing

Let the microwave oven idle, and there will be accidents. Because nothing absorbs microwaves, the magnetron (the main part of the microwave oven) will eventually absorb microwaves and then spontaneously ignite. In fact, as long as you don't put things in, the microwave oven is very safe, and if you use it properly, you will have unexpected magical skills. Before peeling garlic, heat it for more than ten seconds, and then peel it. It's not too easy to soak potatoes in water and heat them in the microwave oven slightly, or you can peel them easily. Draw a cross on the bottom of the tomato, and then heat it. You can also easily get rid of

microwave tips

1. Peel the fruits and vegetables

2. Dry the food

Cookies, dried fruits and the like. After getting wet, not only the taste becomes worse, but also the taste is greatly reduced. But as long as the food hasn't gone bad, you can restore the taste and taste as long as you put it in the microwave oven for heating

III. Deodorization

Towels, dishcloths and sponges are stained with peculiar smell, just rinse them with clear water, and then put them in the microwave oven for half a minute, which can also play the role of high-temperature disinfection

IV. Quickly deodorize the chopping board

Wet it evenly, brush it with detergent and put it in the microwave oven. Take it out and simply rinse it. At this time, the chopping board has been fully disinfected. Of course, even the best furniture should be maintained daily, or else they will suddenly "strike".

Daily maintenance of microwave oven

First, there is a saying about the placement position

The microwave oven should be placed flat, away from the fire and faucet, and both sides of the oven should be placed in a ventilated place, and the distance from the wall should be 5 cm, so as to facilitate the diffusion of hot air

Second, check the line

. Check the power cord, doors and locks of the microwave oven regularly

If it is found to be damaged or poorly closed, stop using it to prevent short circuit or microwave leakage

Don't put away the microwave oven in a hurry after using it, and scrub it with a wet rag to keep the oven clean and dry, especially at the crack of the door or the opening of the door, and the microwave feed inlet on the right side of the microwave oven cavity. If food residue is splashed on it, it will be carbonized, causing microwave reflection and burning out the magnetron
