The microwave oven is often used by us as a universal gadget for working with any kind of food.
However, not everyone knows that some types of food are best not cooked in this way.
What 5 foods should not be heated in a microwave?
Potato-based dishes
This ban is usually associated with the danger of botulism, since the corresponding microorganisms could appear in food when stored at room temperature.
In this case, microorganisms will begin to actively multiply, which will lead to negative health consequences.
Chicken
While it's okay to reheat well-roasted, boiled, or baked chicken, trying to cook raw poultry in the microwave is a bad idea.
Since the bird will not be fully cooked anyway, it will become a source of dangerous bacteria.
Food cooked with a lot of oil
If you decide to reheat food that has been cooked in butter or with a large amount of vegetable product, then the microwave oven should not be used.
The point is that this will make the food a source of carcinogens.
Rice
You can only reheat cereals in a microwave oven in one case - if you stored the prepared side dish in the refrigerator.
Otherwise, exposure to temperature will become an impetus for the proliferation of microbes.
Chicken eggs
You should definitely not try to cook chicken eggs in a microwave oven. The fact is that the product can become a source of salmonella.
As is known, this can cause serious digestive disorders.
