Not every kitchen utensil is suitable for heating or defrosting food in it using a microwave oven. Modern manufacturers offer many options for microwave cookware. There is a special marking indicating whether the container can be placed in a microwave oven. Microwave safe means that the cookware is suitable for this, but if the symbol is crossed out, then it is not. However, such markings are not common, so it is useful to know for yourself what is and is not suitable for the microwave.

is fraught with various troubles. When removing the container from the microwave oven, you may accidentally shake it. Bubbles will immediately begin to form, and the scalding liquid will splash out over the edge, like soda.

- Glassware. This is the best option for reheating and cooking food in the microwave. Just make sure that the dishes are not too light: this means that they are made of fusible material and are not suitable for use in the oven. In addition, it should not have metallic paint.
- Ceramic tableware. Also pay attention that there is no gilding on it. Also, be sure to use an oven mitt: ceramics get very hot.
- Silicone forms. This material is designed for use in both the oven and microwave. Moreover, in such forms you can make not only baked goods, but also casseroles, vegetables and other dishes.
- Baking paper. It's ideal if you don't have a plate or a special lid on hand to cover food.
To quickly check if your plate or bowl is microwave safe, fill it with water and place it inside.
Turn the oven on high for one minute. If the water is heated, everything is fine; if the dishes are hot, they are not intended for a microwave oven. Add to bookmarks
