Why You Should Leave the Microwave Door Open After Reheating Food: There's an Important Reason Every Housewife Should Know
In most cases, heating food in a microwave oven ends like this: a person opens the microwave, takes out the container with food and immediately closes the door.
The final action is an error.
Don't rush to close the door right away. Wait at least a few minutes.
Otherwise, a problem will arise that will be very difficult to deal with.
Why you can't close the door immediately
The answer is simple: after heating food, the smell of food remains inside the device.
If you do not "ventilate" the microwave oven, a stench will appear. Especially if some fish dish was prepared.
Leave the microwave door open for 3-5 minutes. During this time, the excess "aroma" will have time to leave the device.
Yes, due to "ventilation" the smell will go into the kitchen. But this problem can be solved: just turn on the hood or open the window for a while.
There is another recommendation: before closing the door of the “ventilated” microwave oven, go over the inner walls of the device with a sponge.
This needs to be done in order to remove fat and food particles. If you put the procedure off "for later", the dirt will dry out, so it will be more difficult to remove them.
Earlier we told you how to remove dried fat from the walls of a microwave.
