Can stainless steel plates be placed in the microwave?
Stainless steel basins cannot be heated in the microwave.
Because the iron, aluminum, stainless steel, enamel and other utensils placed in the furnace will generate sparks and reflect microwaves when heated by the microwave oven, which will not only damage the furnace body but also heat undercooked food.
- 9 taboos when using a microwave oven
- Avoid heating meat until it is half-cooked and then heating it in a microwave oven
Because bacteria will still grow in half-cooked food, it is impossible to kill all the bacteria when the food is heated in a microwave oven for a short time. Frozen meat products must be defrosted in a microwave oven before being reheated into cooked food.
- Avoid refreezing meat that has been defrosted in a microwave oven
Because after thawing the meat in the microwave oven, the outer layer of meat has actually been heated to a low temperature. Bacteria can reproduce at this temperature. Although refreezing can stop the reproduction, it cannot kill the living bacteria. Meat that has been thawed in the microwave must be heated until fully cooked if placed in the refrigerator.
- Avoid fried foods
High-temperature oil may splash and cause fire. If a fire accidentally breaks out in the furnace, do not open the door. Instead, turn off the power first and wait until the fire is extinguished before opening the door to cool down.
- Avoid overtime heating
Put food in the microwave to defrost or heat it. If you forget to take it out, if the time exceeds 2 hours, you should throw it away to avoid food poisoning.
- Avoid using ordinary plastic containers
Use special microwave containers to hold food and heat it in the microwave. First, the hot food will deform the plastic container. Second, ordinary plastic will release toxic substances, contaminating food and endangering human health.
- Avoid using metal utensils
Because the iron, aluminum, stainless steel, enamel and other utensils placed in the furnace will generate sparks and reflect microwaves when heated by the microwave oven, which will not only damage the furnace body but also heat undercooked food.
- Avoid using closed containers
Wide-mouth containers should be used when heating liquids, because the heat generated by heating food in a closed container cannot be easily dissipated, causing excessive pressure in the container and easily causing explosion accidents. Even when cooking shelled food, be sure to pierce the shell with a needle or chopsticks in advance to avoid explosion, splashing and staining of the furnace wall after heating, or splashing and injuring people.
- Avoid placing the microwave oven in the bedroom
Also be careful not to cover the heat dissipation grille on the microwave oven with objects.
- Avoid working in front of the microwave oven for a long time
After turning on the microwave oven, people should stay away from the microwave oven or at least 1 meter away from the microwave oven.
