Three mistakes when using a microwave oven
Many people complain about the efficiency of the microwave oven, such as B. Non-uniform heating of food, splashing of food in the oven, etc.
In fact, most of the problems users have with microwaves are probably their fault, including what power level to use, how to change the settings, and what type of cookware is best…

There are 3 common mistakes that many people make.
I don’t know how to set this up correctly.
One of the biggest complaints about the microwave oven is that food is heated unevenly. However, this is usually not due to the performance of the machine or the cooking time, but to the power level that you switch on. Most of us don’t bother with the microwave’s functions, just leave it at a certain temperature (usually the highest), then put the food in the oven and press the start button.
Setting the oven to its highest setting can cause the pan and top of the food to heat up very quickly, but the interior will cool down. So to avoid this, choose one of the lowest powers and longest cooking times. Of course, this means you have to wait a few more minutes for the food to heat up, but this method ensures the food gets hot.
Plus, the low power level is great for quickly softening things like butter or cream without melting or overcooking.
Do not choose a safe container
Many people are concerned that the use of microwaves is safe for health due to the radiation from the oven. However, this is not the case. The danger comes from the food containers you put in the oven. For example, non-heat resistant plastics and styrofoam can leach harmful chemicals into food. Microwave safe containers also refer to reheating food rather than grilling it for long periods of time. To be on the safe side, only heat food in porcelain or glass dishes, not in plastic dishes.
Do not cover food when turning
Many people are frustrated that the microwave oven is difficult to clean, but the problem is that the food is not covered when you turn it over. As a result, the microwave can get very dirty from sauce splatters and other leftover food.
To avoid this, it’s best to cover food (but not too much) when baking. You should also clean up spilled food immediately. From time to time, give the oven a thorough clean by placing lemon slices in a bowl of water, flipping them over in the oven, and then wiping away any residue with a towel.
