Foods that you do not warm in microwave

in #food6 years ago

Modern everyday life implies less and less free cooking time. The microwave oven helps exactly in times when we only need to warm up something in a hurry.
However, not all foods are suitable for heating in the microwave. In some, important nutritional structures are broken, others are in danger of literally bursting. See who they are.

Eggs with the shell

Eggs are a risky food for microwave heating, because if you miss the moment you have to take them out of it, they explode as the water in them gets warmed and expanded. If they are in their shell, the explosion time decreases drastically, and the explosion may be even stronger.

Broccoli

Broccoli are among the most useful cruciferous vegetables because they contain a lot of antioxidants, vitamins, folates. When heated by microwaves, however, the structure of these substances is disturbed, which makes the broccoli completely useless in nutrition.

Breastfeeding

The storage of milk in a refrigerator and freezer is convenient for many mothers, as it allows for a larger amount of breastmilk to be used at moments uncomfortable to breastfeed for the mother.

However, microwave heating and thawing is not advisable because it not only destroys the nutrients in the microwave but also has a high risk of over-heating of certain areas of the milk. It happens with any liquid and food warmed in microwave. Typically, in the center, foods and liquids are warmed up most strongly, and may remain slightly lingering at the periphery.
To avoid burning your baby's tender mouth and throat, avoid heating the microwave in the stern.

Everything that has been heated in the microwave more than once

With each subsequent microwave heating, food is losing more and more of its beneficial structures. In addition, they become highly dehydrated, which disturbs both their qualities and their taste.

Chilies

Hot peppers owe their good qualities to capsaicin. However, it breaks down very quickly in the microwave and separates itself from the peppers themselves. As a result, there is a great risk of burning your eyes or ingesting large amounts of the hot ingredient with the opening of the microwave to cause unpleasant irritation.
