Microwaves play an important role at mealtime. It helps to heat food like fish,Safe ways to heat your food in the microwave Articles meat, eggs, etc as quickly as possible and they are very simple to use. However, quickness is not the most essential quality when it comes to microwaves. Special care has to be taken to cook/reheat vegetarian as well as non-vegetarian food, making sure it is cooked properly and safely.

There are many different ways of heating food in the microwave but these ways should be safe. Safety is number 1 priority and Corelle strives to achieve that by bringing out a microwave-safe dinner set.

There are many downfalls to a microwave. Food poisoning, bacteria uneven spots of coldness are some of the things we always have to be careful about.

Safe ways of heating your food in the microwave are-

 

1-     Never stand too close to the microwave: To understand this point, we first have to know that a microwave produces electromagnetic radiations which may, to a certain extent, harm the human body if the exposure is for too long. Radiation decreases rapidly with increasing distance, so always stay a few feet away from the microwave.

2-     Never use plastic or steel containers: Many plastic containers contain hormone-disrupting compounds like BPA, which can contaminate food when heated. Never microwave a plastic container unless it is labeled. Heating in steel containers is also unsafe because steel reflects microwave energy, which can cause small fires and hurt anyone.

3-     Heating the food properly:  Many times, people just stick their food in the microwave haplessly and take it out without checking for cold spots. These cold spots, if consumed, can harm the body greatly. Food poisoning and accumulated bacteria are one of the main issues with not heating food properly. It is imperative to check the food for any cold spots and heat them evenly.

4-     Never overheat liquids: One of the biggest mistakes people do is that they overheat a liquid beyond its boiling point. This is not only dangerous but harmful as well. There’s a slight chance that overheated liquids may explode out of the container and cause burns.

5-     Using the right microwave glass bowl: To use the microwave right, one has to ensure that the bowl used to heat substances is of proper quality and made of genuine glass or pyrex. Corelle has helped develop microwave glass bowls at reasonable prices to ensure there is no problem or mishap.

 

In conclusion, microwaves are really useful devices and are very easy to use. They are safe, effective and highly convenient to heat foods of all varieties. With Corelle, avoid dangerous slip-ups and unwanted accidents that might cause harm!
