Do not microwave fruit, especially grapes - whether fresh or dried - as they will explode in the microwave and release a lot of plasma gas that will damage the oven.

Vegetable

a

Vegetables, especially “dense” ones like potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, zucchini… should not be put in the microwave, because they will almost certainly explode. This can be prevented by poking holes in the vegetable with chopsticks before putting it in the microwave.

Carrot

Absolutely do not put carrots in the microwave, because carrots contain iron, magnesium and selenium; therefore, carrots will quickly turn into flames with many "beautiful" green, red, yellow colors and damage the oven.

Chilli

Chili peppers are also not the ideal food to put in the microwave. When the peppers are heated, the spicy compound capsaicin evaporates and escapes, causing irritation to the eyes and throat when exposed, even making you tear up, causing a very uncomfortable feeling.

Egg

When you put an egg in the microwave, the temperature of the liquid inside the egg will increase and the hot air will not have a place to escape, so the egg will explode. The best way to cook it is to crack the egg, put it in a heat-resistant container, use a fork to pierce the yolk to let the steam escape, and cover it with plastic wrap (the kind used in microwaves).

Bread

When you put bread in the microwave, after a few seconds the bread will become dry and hard and difficult to swallow. Therefore, if you want to heat bread, it is better to put it in the oven.

Tomato sauce

While putting sauce in the microwave isn't as dangerous as putting other foods, hot sauce can easily splatter and make a mess. When reheating tomato sauce, cover the container with wax paper to keep the oven clean.

Wine and champagne

It should be noted that this type of drink should never be put in the microwave, no matter how much, even in sauce-like foods, because like other drinks, alcohol of all kinds will turn into a bomb, easily causing an explosion that can damage the oven and burn food.

Water

Never try to boil water in a microwave oven, as this is very dangerous, because the microwaves heat the water but prevent bubbles from forming. When you take the water out of the oven, the bubbles will burst and splash on your face, causing burns. To prevent this, when you put a cup of water in to boil, add a tea bag (remember to remove the thumbtack) or a wooden stirrer, and when you open the oven door, let it sit for a while for the temperature to equalize before taking the cup of water out.

Paper bag

Do not put paper bags or newspapers in the oven, because it is not only unsanitary, but can also cause a fire and produce toxic gases that contaminate food.

Metal kitchen utensils

Do not put metal kitchen utensils such as spoons, forks, cups, and even aluminum foil wrapped around food in the microwave, as these items will cause a fire or explosion in the microwave.
