Not just metal bowls should not be used for microwave cooking

Probably the only disadvantage of using a microwave oven is that you have to choose special dishes for it. The fact that it can not be made of metal, everyone knows. But this is not the end of the restrictions.

OBOZREVATEL gathered tips on this subject. Learn more about what cookware should not be used in the microwave.

Glass

Ordinary glass is not suitable for use in the microwave, because it is too thin and cracks under the influence of high temperature. Only specially hardened cookware can be used in the oven - it must be specially marked. The main thing is to make sure that there is no metallized decoration or openwork pattern on it. It is also important to accurately determine that the vessel is glass, and not made of heavy, unsuitable for the action of microwaves plastic. Such a bowl will melt inside the chamber and ruin both the dish and the device.

Ceramics

Ceramic products do not tolerate high heat and may crack when used in the microwave. Even if such a bowl can withstand a minute in the chamber, it itself will get very hot and it will be very difficult to get it out. In addition, ceramic dishes are often decorated with metal decorations, which will spark inside the oven.

Wood

Well-dried wood can withstand once or twice in the microwave without consequence. But regular use of wooden utensils in this way is contraindicated. A board or bowl will begin to lose its structure and density, cracking and falling apart. In addition, at high power, the oven can char the wood.
