Microwave ovens have become such a part of our lives that in some families they have already replaced the regular gas oven.
However, not all people still know which materials and products are suitable for use in a microwave oven and which ones should be avoided.
And if there is no need to remind you about iron cookware, then you might not know about some of the things that we will tell you about below.
Dishes
If you want to determine whether a dish is suitable for use in a microwave, conduct a simple test. Pour water into a bowl and leave it for half a minute: if during this time only the dish heats up, it is better not to use it for heating food.
Any plates with gold decoration, metal and disposable containers are not suitable for use in a microwave oven.
Products
As for food, the microwave is absolutely not suitable for boiling eggs, as they will simply explode.
The same applies to food in a dense casing, such as sausages or frankfurters. It is recommended to cut the packaging beforehand to avoid an explosion after heating.
