The reason why eggs cannot be placed in a microwave oven:

Because when people usually cook eggs over fire, the heat is from the outside to the inside, but the opposite is true when cooking eggs in a microwave oven. The inside of the egg heats and expands, but the eggshell blocks the expansion of gas, so an explosion occurs. Regardless of whether the egg is raw or cooked, when the egg is heated in a microwave oven, the moisture in the egg will turn into water vapor due to heating, causing the egg to explode and become a "bomb".

Precautions for using microwave ovens:

1. Bottled foods with closed containers and narrow bottlenecks are not suitable for use in microwave ovens. At the same time, avoid using ordinary plastic containers: first, hot food will deform plastic containers; second, ordinary plastics will release toxic substances, contaminate food, and harm human health.

2. Avoid heating meat until it is half-cooked and then heating it in a microwave oven: Because bacteria can still breed in half-cooked food, it is impossible to kill all the bacteria in a microwave oven the second time. Frozen meat products must be defrosted in the microwave before being reheated as cooked food.

3. Avoid freezing microwave-thawed meat: Because the microwave-thawed meat has actually heated the outer layer at a low temperature, bacteria will multiply at this temperature. While freezing can stop it from multiplying, it does not kill live bacteria. Meat thawed in the microwave must be heated until fully cooked if frozen in the refrigerator.

4. When heating liquid food, use wide-mouth containers or heat without lids. If a closed container is used for heating, the hot air generated by the food cannot be released, and the high pressure can easily cause it to burst.

5. Do not use ordinary plastic containers to heat food. Plastic items easily soften and deform when heated, and they can also produce some toxic gases, which can affect food and people's health.
