According to ТСН: The microwave has become an indispensable appliance in the kitchen, used for quickly preparing food and reheating. However, many users make mistakes that can cause the appliance to malfunction.

Experts from the service 'Cookology' note that often the top part of the microwave is used as an additional shelf for various items, which can be dangerous.

Main Mistakes in Microwave Usage

1. Using Dangerous Containers

Always remember that metal objects are prohibited in the microwave.

'If a plastic container is not designed for microwave use, it can release harmful chemicals into the food. This is especially likely when reheating fatty or oily dishes.'

2. Infrequent Stirring of the Dish

Even with turntables, it's important to regularly stop the microwave to stir the food.

'Stirring the food halfway through cooking or reheating in the microwave ensures safer results.'

3. Tightly Sealing Containers

Do not seal containers too tightly to avoid pressure buildup.

'It is also important to leave a small gap between the container and its lid for steam to escape.'

4. Ignoring Cleanliness

Regular cleaning of the microwave is essential for hygiene and effective operation of the appliance.

'A dirty microwave consumes more energy and operates less efficiently. Food splatters also increase the risk of unpleasant odors and smoke.'

By paying attention to these tips, you can safely and effectively use the microwave in your daily life.

Proper use of microwaves is important not only for convenience in food preparation but also for maintaining safety in the kitchen. Follow the experts' advice to ensure your appliance serves you well and your food is always delicious and safe.
