There are 10 Things that must not be Put into the Microwave Oven, which many People don't Know!

The microwave oven is so convenient to use that many people don't pay attention to it. It is a "temper tantrum"! By understanding the heating method of microwave ovens, we can know why microwave ovens are so dangerous.

Unique heating method

Heating ordinary kitchenware is to create heat and transfer it to food to achieve the heating effect, such as a stove.

But the microwave oven itself does not produce heat. Instead, it uses its magnetron to convert electric energy into microwaves and vibrate food molecules. The molecules oscillate rapidly at a speed of 2.45 billion times per second. The macroscopic manifestation of this oscillation is that the food is heated.

Because of the special heating method, some things must not be put in, ranging from damaging the microwave oven to causing fire or explosion.

Things that cannot be put in the microwave oven

1. Eggs

The traditional heating method is from outside to inside, while the heating method of microwave oven is all uniform heating. This leads to the fact that it is very dangerous to heat eggs in the microwave oven.

Because the heat inside the egg will expand faster than the eggshell, and a lot of water vapor will be produced in the egg. These vapors have nowhere to escape and will explode.

2. Metal tableware

Although metals are stable, heat-resistant, and nonflammable under normal conditions, the unique heating method of a microwave oven can make metal molecules vibrate violently and make metal tableware spontaneous combustion.

3. Tin foil

No metal can be put into the microwave oven because tin foil contains metal.

4. Paper bag

Any paper items should not be put into the microwave oven. The microwave oven can ignite even metal, not to mention flammable paper?

5. Milk box

Milk cartons, most of which are paper, plastic, or even lined with tin foil, are banned from the blacklist of microwave ovens.

6. Plastic container

Most plastics should not be heated in the microwave oven. The only plastics that can be put in the microwave oven are polypropylene. If you are not clear, for the sake of safety, do not heat the plastic container unless it is marked that it can be heated.

7. Fruit

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

8. Pepper

There's nothing wrong with heating hot peppers, but when you open the door of the microwave oven, the chemicals emitted by hot peppers will stimulate your eyes and burn your throat.

9. Liquid

When the liquid is heated by microwave, the water will not flow, but the temperature rises, 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.

10. Don't put anything away

Let the microwave oven idle, there will also be accidents. Because nothing absorbs microwaves, magnetrons (the main components of microwave ovens) will eventually absorb microwaves and then spontaneously ignite.
