Why soup should not be heated in the microwave: we tell you what the danger is

A microwave oven is a very convenient and popular kitchen gadget that is used by almost everyone. But not everyone knows that some foods should never be heated in it.

The FoodOboz editorial team shares useful information on why you shouldn't microwave soups.

How it affects the taste of the dish

Scientists have proven that microwaves heat liquids unevenly, creating so-called dead zones where the temperature is not sufficient to kill bacteria. It is in these areas that microorganisms multiply several times faster, which increases the risk of food poisoning.

How it affects the structure

The fact is that microwave waves have a disorderly effect on water molecules, breaking the bonds between the components of the soup. This leads to a loss of rich flavor, and the broth itself becomes cloudy and less pleasant in taste.

How and what is the best way to reheat soup

It is much safer to heat the soup in a saucepan on the stove or use a water bath. When heating it, you need to stir it periodically so that the temperature is distributed throughout the liquid.
