Nowadays, almost every person cannot imagine their life without such a convenient device as a microwave oven.

It is impossible not to note that it has a large number of advantages. If 15 years ago the microwave was available only to people with a high income, today it is present in every home.

First of all, the microwave oven is very easy to use.

Secondly, it has a high speed of heating food. But it is worth noting that there are still several myths about the operation of a microwave oven.

Myth 1: Food heated or cooked in a microwave oven can cause serious harm to health.

Some people believe that microwave radiation is very dangerous. But is it really so? The answer is obvious - no.

The radiation emitted by a microwave oven is no different from, for example, the waves used in radio broadcasting. Therefore, microwaves can be present in the home even without using a microwave oven.

Does the effect of these waves affect food? No. Food heated by microwave is absolutely harmless and does not pose any health risks. This is explained quite simply: penetrating a particular product, the energy is converted into heat by microwaves.

Myth 2: A microwave oven is only used to heat food.

This myth is quite common. Many people who use a microwave oven believe that its only purpose is to heat up prepared dishes.

This is not true at all. With the help of a microwave oven, it is possible to prepare a large number of delicious dishes.

It is also worth noting that when purchasing modern microwave models, the kit may include a special book with recipes for various dishes.

For example, fish cooked in a microwave oven is very tasty and also healthy, since it is not fried in a large amount of oil.
