The microwave oven is an electric appliance used to heat up food. The food is placed inside a container which is then placed inside the microwave before heating it up.
What you can and cannot put in a microwave
Don’t be scared, the microwave is not harmful if you adhere to simple instructions and know what exactly to put inside it.
Now the question most people tend to ask right now is if it’s all food containers that can be put inside the microwave? The answer is No.
Most of us do not know what and what not to put in the microwave oven which in turn damages the appliances or in worst case scenario, blows the microwave up and starts a fire.
It is very dangerous to just put anything inside the microwave oven because of the electromagnet radiation that it emits.
