These 7 things are not safe to put in the microwave!

There's no comparison to a microwave oven for heating, cooking, or baking food. But don't put anything in it in a hurry or without knowing it, which could be dangerous. Find out which things are not safe to put in the microwave.

1. Do not put aluminum foil in the microwave. It is made of very thin metal that creates sparks in the oven's radiation, which can damage the microwave or cause a fire.

2. Don't go for an empty bowl or plate, even if it's microwave-proof. Because the oven needs something in the bowl to absorb the heat. Otherwise, the heat will spread, which can break or melt the container.

3. Do not microwave boiled eggs to heat them. This will cause steam to form between the yolk and white, which can cause the egg to burst. This can happen even if the shell is removed.

4. Never put thin plastic bottles or single-use plastic bowls, plates, or glasses in the oven. Such thin plastic melts easily.

5. Do not microwave plates with metallic designs or rims. If the plate has metallic paint or any metallic elements in the design, sparks will be generated, which could cause the plate to catch fire.

6. Do not put paper bags in the oven. The bag may emit smoke while heating. The heat generated by the microwave may even cause the bag to catch fire.

7. Do not use stainless steel utensils. When placed inside the microwave, such utensils do not allow radiation to penetrate the container and reflect heat.
