According to ТСН: The microwave has become an essential part of the modern kitchen, as it simplifies the process of cooking and defrosting food. However, not all products should be placed in the microwave.

What should not be reheated in the microwave:

  • products wrapped in foil

  • dishes with gold or silver trim

  • raw eggs

  • bottles

  • hermetically sealed containers

  • paper

  • sauces

  • breat milk or formula

  • processed meat

Experts also advise avoiding reheating hot peppers. Heating this product can lead to the release of capsaicin, which causes irritation to the eyes and respiratory tract.

The same applies to fruits. Whole fruits, such as grapes or tomatoes, can explode in the microwave due to increased pressure. It’s better to cut or poke them before reheating.

Scientists emphasize that there’s no need to worry about the safety of reheating in the microwave. Despite widespread myths, experts note that microwave ovens do not make food 'radioactive' and do not lead to significant nutrient loss.

Thus, it is important to know which products should not be placed in the microwave to avoid danger and preserve their quality. By following these recommendations, you will ensure safe and effective use of the microwave in your kitchen.
