A microwave oven is an indispensable assistant for many housewives.

They use this device to defrost frozen foods, reheat prepared meals, or even prepare breakfast or dinner.

However, according to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova, you can’t put everything that comes to mind inside this device.

Eggs

Never microwave eggs in their shells – they will simply explode.

Grape

Those who have ever tried to heat grapes in a microwave oven will never do it again - once inside, the berries catch fire.

Hot pepper

Another unwanted "guest" in the microwave is hot pepper. Due to the heat, it begins to evaporate capsaicin, which is responsible for the spiciness, which creates the effect of a gas canister.

Products in a dense shell

Be careful when heating sausages and frankfurters in a thick casing, as well as apples and tomatoes with thick skins, using microwaves – they may explode.
