1. Do not heat semi-cooked meat in the microwave: Bacteria can still grow in semi-cooked food. When heated a second time in the microwave, it is impossible to kill all the bacteria due to the short duration. Frozen meat must first be thawed in the microwave before being heated to a fully cooked state.
2. Do not refreeze meat that has been thawed in the microwave: After meat is thawed in the microwave, the outer layer is actually heated to a low temperature where bacteria can multiply. Although refreezing will stop their reproduction, it will not kill the live bacteria. Meat thawed in the microwave must be heated to a fully cooked state before being placed back in the freezer.
3. Do not deep-fry food: High-temperature oil can splatter and cause a fire. If a fire accidentally starts inside the oven, do not open the door. Instead, turn off the power first, wait for the fire to extinguish, and then open the door to let it cool down.
4. Do not overheat: If food is left in the microwave for thawing or heating and is forgotten for more than 2 hours, it should be discarded to prevent food poisoning.
5. Do not use ordinary plastic containers: Use containers specifically designed for microwave ovens to heat food. Hot food can cause ordinary plastic containers to deform, and they can also release toxic substances that contaminate the food and harm human health.
6. Do not use metal containers: Containers made of iron, aluminum, stainless steel, enamel, etc., placed in the oven will produce sparks and reflect microwaves when heated. This can damage the oven and result in unevenly cooked food.
