Anyone who has a microwave oven in their kitchen knows that you can't put foil or metal inside.
But with regard to other materials, questions sometimes arise, the answers to which we will try to give today.
How to check if your cookware is microwave safe
The most obvious thing you can do is to inspect the item for markings on it.
However, you won’t find it everywhere, especially if you are going to use kitchen utensils that you inherited from your mother or grandmother.
In this case, a simple life hack will help.
Fill a plate with water and microwave it for 30 seconds, then evaluate the result.
If the water becomes hot within half a minute, then the dishes are fine and you can continue to use them in the microwave.
If it is not the contents that become hot, but the dish itself, then it cannot be placed in the microwave to heat up food.
Also not suitable for microwave ovens are dishes with gold plating or metallic paint applied to them, crystal, metal, foil and foil forms, as well as disposable dishes (paper and plastic).
