Do I need to open the lid of the lunch box when I heat the food in the microwave oven?

When heating meals in the microwave oven, it is necessary to open the lid of the lunch box, not completely seal it.

the reason why it is necessary to open the lid: the heat generated by food heating is not easy to dissipate, and the pressure inside the container increases, which may lead to the deformation and even explosion of the lunch box.

It is best to use a special microwave lunch box, avoid metal utensils or completely closed containers to heat the heated lunch box.
