Myths About Microwave Use #7 Metals can get dangerous hot in microwaves
Myth#7 Metals can get dangerous hot in microwaves It is totally untrue.
Truth # 7 The thing is metals reflect the microwaves unlike glass or ceramics that let the waves get through them. That means that metals do not heat up a lot in microwave oven. However you should be very careful with thin metal like foil or the tines of forks because they may be like an antenna and the waves that are arcing off them may create some sparks.

Myths About Microwave Use #9 Microwave use can head up oil myths about microwave use
Myth#8 Microwave use can head up oils Unfortunately oils heating in microwave are a total myth.
Truth #8 The reason for that is that the molecules that are in the oils lack the polarity that may be found in water.

Oscillation becomes more time-consuming.
There are a lot of myths that surround microwave use. Don’t listen to them and enjoy your meal. Happy cooking!
