Use only micro wave oven safe vessels – glassware and ceramic vessels do not normally break even if they are not oven proof. (They may break if there is any metal lining or etching in it).
If you use microwave oven safe plastic vessels, the lids come with them need not be oven safe.
Don’t use plastic vessels. Using them may cause severe health problems.
Roast Nuts, Popcorns etc. in paper bags. If glass or ceramic ware is used they will break.
Bananas, potatoes etc will not get cooked unless you break the skin by pricking with pin or making gashes using a knife. Keeping a glass of water near by will help them to cook better.
Bananas will go rubbery if not fully ripe.
Thawing (food from freezer) will be done better only at low power settings.(Look for the marking for thawing).
On cooking food chose the vessel with a oven proof lid to avoid splashing(paper plate are the safest lids).
Don’t boil egg in microwave oven. It will burst.
Avoid watching through the glass window of the oven for long. Unlike conventional oven, here it may cause health hazard as microwave leaking through glass is not fully blocked.
Micro wave attracts cockroaches into the control box. [You may even see cockroaches running around while cooking in progress]. Draw lakshman rekha around the oven to avoid cockroaches getting in.
(Suggestions are welcome from readers on using microwave oven properly).
