Before using your microwave, here are some important tips to consider:
1. Safety Check: Make sure your microwave is in good condition, doors and covers are intact, and is working properly. Make sure there is no damage to the wires or electrical plugs.
2. Inspection and cleaning: Make sure the inside of the microwave is clean. Check it to ensure that there are no food residues or dirt that may affect its performance. Gently clean it with electrical appliance-safe sweeteners.
3. Suitable utensils: Use utensils and plates suitable for use in the microwave. Make sure it is made of microwave-safe materials such as thermal glass, metal-free ceramic, or microwave-safe plastic.
4. Remove lids and coverings: Before placing food in the microwave, make sure to remove thick lids or metal wrap. The presence of metal in dishes can cause sparks and damage to the device.
5. Even distribution: Distribute the food evenly within the bowl or plate. This helps heat food evenly and avoid unwanted hot or cold spots.
6. Time monitoring: Make sure you set the correct time to cook the food. Avoid running the microwave for very long periods of time or overheating food, as this can result in loss of quality and dryness of the food.
7. Special Warnings: Avoid placing whole eggs or hard-boiled eggs in the shell in the microwave, as this can cause them to explode. It is also recommended to avoid overheating hot liquids, as they can explode when stirred after removing from the microwave.
Remember, it is important to follow your microwave manufacturer’s instructions and comply with any warnings or directions. Requirements and recommendations for use may vary between different appliances, so check your microwave’s user manual for specific and accurate information.
