When in doubt, opt for traditional methods and preserve your health, your device … and your kitchen clean
The microwave is the darling in modern kitchens, being practical, fast and always ready to save that late lunch or afternoon snack.
But despite all this ease, not everything that goes there is unharmed (not even you). Some foods that seem harmless can become true traps when exposed to electromagnetic waves.
So if you want to avoid unexpected explosions, toxic vapors, burns and even damage to the appliance, check out 6 foods you should never put in the microwave, and understand why.
Avoid accidents: 6 foods you should never put in the microwave
1.
You may even think you will come out with a boiled egg in minutes, but what can happen is a sound (and physical) explosion inside the device.
The peel prevents steam from escaping and… boom! Better cook in the traditional way.
2. Breast milk
Many parents fall into this trap. The microwave heats up unevenly, creating hot points that can burn the baby’s mouth.
In addition, it can destroy the antibodies present in milk. The correct one? Always wear a water bath.
3.
It sounds innocent, but putting grapes in the microwave can generate sparks or even plasma (yes, really!).
The phenomenon can damage the device and still generate a risk of fire. Leave the grapes for the cold snack.
4. Processed meat
Sausages, sausages and sausages may form toxic substances such as nitrosamines when heated at high temperature in the microwave.
Better grill or heat in the pan to ensure taste and safety.
5. Tomato sauces
What looks like a simple warm can end up in dirt, burst and burn.
Dense sauces, such as tomatoes, accumulate steam and sneeze throughout the microwave. If you need to warm up, use steam output lid.
6. Pepper
When heated, the pepper releases vapors with capsaicin, what eyes, throat and skin.
Opening the door of the device after warming it is like throwing pepper spray on your face. Avoid.
