Before using the microwave, ensure that it's clean, free from any debris, and in proper working condition.
Select microwave-safe dishes and containers made of glass, ceramic, or microwave-safe plastic. Avoid using metal or containers with metallic trim as they can cause sparks and damage the microwave.
Microwave-safe containers:
When heating food, cover it with a microwave-safe lid or use microwave-safe plastic wrap to prevent splatters. If needed, create vents or leave a small opening to allow steam to escape.
Use the microwave's control panel to set the desired cooking time and power level. Follow the recipe or guidelines provided with the food for specific instructions.
After cooking or heating, let the food stand in the microwave for a short period. This allows for further cooking and helps distribute heat evenly throughout the dish.
When using containers with lids, make sure they are microwave-safe and can withstand the heat. Avoid using tightly sealed lids, as pressure can build up and cause accidents.
To maintain cleanliness, wipe down the interior of the microwave with a damp cloth or sponge. Remove any spills or stains promptly to prevent odors or difficult cleaning later on.
