Is your microwave heating dishes instead of food? Then this article is for you.

We'll tell you how to make your microwave heat food, not dishes.

How to Make the Microwave Heat Food, Not the Dishes

First, choose the right cookware. Just because a cookware is labeled as microwave-safe doesn't guarantee that your food will cook properly.

You can check the dishes in the following way. Take the dishes, pour water into them and put them in the microwave for one minute.

If the water is warm and the sides of the container are slightly warm, it is suitable.

Similarly, you need to check the lid if you use one.

Secondly, the plate with food should be placed not in the center of the tray, but closer to the edge.

This recommendation is especially relevant for older microwaves.
