1. Boiled eggs

Do not do this if the boiled eggs have cooled down and you are thinking of heating them in the microwave, otherwise the eggs will explode after going into the microwave like a bomb. When steam and water pressure builds up in the microwave, the egg's thin membrane can't stand the pressure and explodes. Guess what happens next by looking at the picture.

2. Fresh carrots

Carrots are cooked in the microwave. Cooked carrots can be heated in the microwave, but carrots that are perfectly fresh, with a skin on them and not peeled. Never put such carrots in the microwave oven. Because if small particles of soil or other minerals are left on the small branches of carrots and they are placed in the microwave, it can cause sparks which can also damage your microwave.

3. Processed meat / frozen meat

Such meat or its derivatives contain salts, chemicals and preservatives that prevent it from spoiling. When microwave rays fall on these tinned or canned meat items, it changes the meat. On several occasions, the meat has been found to have elevated cholesterol levels after heating it in the microwave. It is said that such meat / sausage should not be reheated to avoid heart and cholesterol related diseases.

4. Water

Many people consider microwave to be the best way to heat water quickly. While the electromagnetic waves of the microwave cause changes in the water and the molecules of the water change due to this, due to which the yatu water heats up suddenly and sometimes it can explode in the microwave. Therefore, children in particular must be careful in this matter.

5. Chilies

Red peppers, which are high in speed, also have a high "capsaicin" level, which has the ability to ignite or spread. When this capsicum is present in the electromagnetic wave, the process of emitting smoke can start and then fire can start. This fire and smoke can also cause skin allergies.

6. Chicken

If the chicken is not cooked properly, it contains a special type of bacteria called salmonella. When half-cooked and half-cooked chicken or chicken meat is placed in the microwave to heat, there is a risk of these bacteria being present. Therefore, experts often forbid heating meat in the microwave and cooking it on the stove so that the bacteria do not survive due to the high heat and the chicken meat remains healthy.
