Did you know that most Styrofoam boxes fast food joints give you aren’t microwave friendly either? Be sure to check for any microwave non-nos, or you’ll end up having to buy another one.
Before you bake your potato, a word of caution – stab you potatoes to make little air holes for air to escape and prevent the potato from exploding.
Most plastic, like your favorite travel tumblers, aren’t safe to microwave and store food in either!
Even chilies aren’t – to stay safe, prevent from microwaving any raw fruits and veggies in general (except yams, potatoes and sweet potatoes).
Lastly, turn your microwave off when you’re not using it. Leaving it on could damage it – and shorten its lifespan in your kitchen!
