Things You Shouldn’t Heat Up with Microwave

Microwave makes life convenient, but they should be
used sparingly, firstly because of the radiation they
emit and secondly because they can be dangerous.
Here are some items that you should never put in
the microwave.
Eggs:
Even if you’re in a hurry, take the time to boil your
eggs on the stove instead of trying to boil them in
the microwave. The extreme heat generates a lot of
steam within the eggs and they eventually explode,
leaving you a mess to clean up.
Fruits:
Whether you want to thaw fruits or cook with them,
avoid doing so in the microwave. A few fruits can
take the extreme heat, but most can’t. Grapes tend
to explode and raisins become smoky.
Chili peppers:
While nothing will happen to the chili peppers, you
should avoid putting them in the microwave because
they release a pungent chemical that can burn your
eyes and face when you open the door.
Red sauce:
If you’ve ever cooked red sauce on the stove, you’ll
know that it tends to bubble and spit. In the
microwave, this reaction is much more violent,
causing the sauce to explode all over. You can heat
up red sauce in the microwave for a minute or so,
but avoid keeping it for longer.
Vegetables:
A lot of people warm up their vegetables in the
microwave, but this kills their nutritional content. A
study found that putting broccoli in the microwave
caused it to lose 97 percent of its antioxidants.
Frozen meat:
If you are trying to defrost frozen meat, either
remove it from the fridge well in advance or hold it
under running water. Avoid putting it in the
microwave, as the outside will burn and the inside
will still remain frozen.
