The best microwaves are a kitchen staple in many households. They make cooking and reheating foods far easier and quicker than other methods, saving you time and producing versatile tasty meals. But from potential food explosions and nasty bacterial growth to unappetising flavours and textures, there are some foods that you should definitely avoid cooking in a microwave.
Before we get into the full list which is only going to concentrate on food, it’s worth noting that there are other food-related items that should never be placed in a microwave. For example, aluminium foil, takeaway containers, Styrofoam, paper bags and metal cookware are all materials that shouldn’t go in a microwave, as they could catch on fire, release chemical toxins and burn you when you go to take it out. So, please keep this in mind when you go to microwave something.
