A microwave is a convenient appliance that allows you to cook food quickly. But many people make mistakes that can ruin the microwave. Today you will learn about 4 mistakes that should be avoided.

Do not clean the microwave

If you don't clean your microwave, grease and food will build up on it, which will absorb the microwaves, causing sparks and overheating.

To prevent this, you need to clean the microwave with special products or soda, vinegar or lemon.

Use unsuitable utensils

Not all cookware is microwave safe. Metal, foil or paper can be dangerous to the microwave and to your health.

They may reflect microwaves, emit harmful substances, or explode.

To prevent this, you need to use glass, ceramic or silicone cookware with the microwave symbol.

Do not cover food

If you don't cover the food, it will splash around the microwave, dirtying it and creating a smell. Also, the food may heat unevenly, remaining cold. To prevent this, you need to cover the food with a lid.

Not keeping track of time

Many people do not keep track of the time and power required to heat or cook food.

This can cause the food to overheat. It can also be dangerous for the microwave, which can overheat and break.

To avoid this, you need to follow the time and power indicated on the packaging or in the recipe.
