Microwave: Microwave has become an essential appliance in the kitchen today. Whether it is heating food or cooking something quickly, microwave is the first choice of every household. But do you know that keeping some things in the microwave can prove to be extremely dangerous? Sometimes keeping the wrong thing inside increases the risk of spark, explosion and even fire. Let us know which things pose the greatest danger.
Metal things
Putting any metal object in the microwave is a big mistake. Metal items like foil paper, steel utensils, spoons or forks can cause arcing in the microwave, which can cause sparks and even fire inside.
Keep in mind: Never use metal containers, use only microwave-safe utensils.
Eggs (all with shells)
By keeping a raw egg with its whole peel in the microwave, steam continues to form inside. As the pressure increases, the egg explodes with a loud bang. This also makes the microwave dirty and can also cause a dangerous accident. Always keep cracked or chopped eggs in the microwave.
sealed container
When airtight boxes made of plastic or glass are kept closed in the microwave, steam keeps accumulating inside. This pressure may tear the container or cause the lid to fly off. Keep the lid loosely loose or use a microwave-safe vented lid.
chilli and spicy spices
When green chillies or spicy food are kept in the microwave, the chemicals in chillies evaporate with the steam. This can cause severe burning sensation in the eyes and nose as soon as the microwave is opened. Sometimes chilli seeds burn and produce smoke. It is better to cook them on the stove.
cheap plastic containers
Cheap plastic boxes can melt in the microwave and release harmful chemicals into the food. Always use BPA-free and microwave safe plastic. Microwave is safe but only when used properly.
