Many believe that the harm of microwave ovens lies in the fact that they allegedly emit radiation. This is a fundamentally illiterate opinion. Because the basis of the furnace is not radiation, but electromagnetic. A powerful magnetron converts ordinary electricity into an electric field with an ultrahigh frequency. There are microwaves, they are reflected from the inner metal case, they affect the products, heating them. To the question of the harm and use of furnaces, it can be noted that electromagnetic radiation only occurs when the door is closed and only when the device is turned on. There are norms of electromagnetic radiation, which are not exceeded during the operation of the furnace and, accordingly, are not dangerous. All norms comply with generally accepted international standards. When the microwave works, the hermetic furnace casing serves as a shield for the person.
Naturally, when operating a microwave oven, precautions should be taken. But they are necessary and for the operation of any other technique. First, you need to purchase only a high-quality microwave oven of proven and reputable manufacturers. When buying, you must carefully inspect the device. Importantly, pay attention to the integrity of the glass and the door. Cracks and chips on the case are inadmissible, because when working, microwaves can penetrate outside.
Check: whether the oven passes microwaves or not, you can put the mobile phone in the microwave, closing the door and calling it from another phone. If the call passes, then there is a leak, if the subscriber is "out of the zone", then the oven is leakproof. The only thing: do not take in head at that moment to turn on the stove!
Before operating, you need to study the instruction and follow it. From the operating microwave oven should be at a distance of one and a half meters. For cooking, use only cookware intended for microwave ovens. You can not use metal, porcelain, crystal dishes and products made of thin glass and plastic (non-heat resistant). This may damage the operation of the oven. The cookware should be made only of heat-resistant materials. By the way, the foil is not capable of passing microwaves.
It is forbidden to boil condensed milk in a closed jar, put whole eggs in the oven. They can explode and cause injury. Semi-finished products should not be prepared in packages, because the films emit toxic substances harmful to health when heated. Oil and fat also should not be heated in a microwave, because they can boil and cause burns.
Do not use spoons, forks, wires and metal staples. Wooden utensils, too, do not need to use, because it can kindle.
The use of microwave ovens is to save time on heating food. It is very convenient, fast and quite simple. In addition, the taste of cooked food is different from that prepared on a conventional stove. Perhaps you will like the taste of these dishes more.
In general, the debate over whether microwave is useful or harmful, will continue for a very long time. The only thing about which to remember the man in the street, is that you need to use a good home appliances, observing security measures. Reasonable operation of the equipment will bring convenience and speed in cooking.
