Foods You Should Absolutely Never Put In The Microwave

Arguably the most versatile appliance in any kitchen, a microwave is a must-have for any home, apartment, or even office break room. With the ability to heat up your food in seconds - not to mention cook certain pre-packaged meals altogether - microwaves are super fast and extremely easy to use. But just because you can stick a food item in your microwave and nuke it to high heaven, that doesn't always mean that you should. In fact, depending on the food in question, you could be in for an unpleasant surprise when your microwaved meal leads to illness. With that in mind, these are foods you should absolutely never put in the microwave.

Do you still microwave any of these?

[@meganwolf91]

Lol the packaging on the hotdogs in Ireland and uk have microwave instructions 🤦‍♂️😂

[@zamilemazibuko103]

I now have a very strong urge to microwave grapes 🙂🥲

[@kbob1158]

You have just covered about 80 to 90% of what we all use the microwave for. It would seem it is just a waste of counter space.

[@thomasaquinas2600]

The secret with microwave ovens is water and heat. In essence, that's all it does. So, if your food is too dry (all food loses water over time), then re-add some water. It the food is unready (i.e. frozen), defrost it the day before. If it's too concentrated, try to distribute it out as widely as possible. All these things prevent drying and scorching, the two microwave bugaboos.

Regards heating bread in a micorwave I usually use a damp paper towel over the bread. Comes out nice a soft and not dry too.

[@leahwhiteley5164]

What a microwave does well? Corn on the cob! Put whole or half pieces in a zip lock bag with 2 tablespoons of water. Press as much air out of the bag as you can. Microwave on high. 2 minutes. Flip over, 1 minute. Repeat with 1 minute until it is as soft as you like it. Normally not more than 4 minutes total. Be careful of the steam and hot water when you open the bag.

[@edsteward7717]

Haven't had a microwave in a decade, and don't miss it.

[@cornfusedatbest3980]

I just reheated mushrooms in the nuker. I got sparks, figured I'd look into it.

[@leahwhiteley5164]

I still can't understand why you'd microwave a grape.

[@mortemicrorreactor8851]

Good morning America, good mornings México

[@michaelosborne3911]

Good afternoon 😊

[@UncleBuZ]

I'm a kid of the 70's... we've eaten worse and are still alive. well some of us.

[@defresurrection]

Agreed. If the issue was as bad as this channel thinks, microwaves would be banned.

[@b4804514]

exactly I must have eaten 500 microwaved hot dogs at least back in the day

[@honeybeastie1]

It seems as if the generations after the 70s are afraid of everything....and they all have (physician undiagnosed) gluten and lactose intolerance....and have decided to be vegans and vegetarians. Sad, sad people.🙁

[@miketech79]

I came up with microwaving tomato sauce in the microwave approx. 5 minutes on power level 20% per 3/4 cup or so of sauce it works pretty well. No mess!

[@Noctaire]

So, just to be clear…don’t microwave anything. Got it. 😒

[@cynthiajordan8751]

Thank goodness I never followed the fad of eating tons of hot peppers. I like my taste buds. Thank you very much

[@gerbearjones6056]

Honestly if someone puts bread in a microwave expecting toast they should really seek professional help! LOL

[@jhoughjr1]

microwave is the best way to cook a hotdog.

[@xtheunknown4662]

I only had a microwave to cook with one time. I made all kinds of good food. If you cook it right.

[@SmokeyTreats]

To thaw quickly I put item in ziplock bag then large bowl of warm water.

[@jhoughjr1]

cold water is safer and works as well

[@aurathedraak7909]

And we thought aluminum was bad? GRAPES TOO!? lmao

[@calvinreedjr5874]

Who puts grapes in the microwave???

[@devonboulden2496]

Did you just say I can burn myself by microwaving tomato sauce? That's a negative like don't put your hand on a red hot burner. So stupid is as stupid does, Forrest. That's not worthy of anything. Nothing of this report is worthy of remembering. It's like they created this report just to talk talk to their viewers about nothing.

[@deryaner35]

So what can you use a microwave for? Sounds like I should just junk the one I have and save the counter space!

[@davideanes3425]

You’d be better off getting a wood-burning stove. It’s all natural 😂

[@michaelharned8741]

Easiest way to heat. up a frozen pastry

[@brianmoody2549]

Good to know I always microwave if I need something heated up fast.

[@TheOctopus2112]

I forgot everything they tried to teach me in this video the second it was over

[@odinvolk6973]

the one about tomato sauce: is that why the walls of my microwave are coated in sauce whenever I microwave one of those 2lb frozen lasagnas?

[@davideanes3425]

No, it’s just that tomato sauce has something against you.

[@leahwhiteley5164]

You never cook or reheat red sauce without a covering.

[@odinvolk6973]

@@leahwhiteley5164 all the instructions said was to lift the corner of the film a bit.

[@leahwhiteley5164]

@@odinvolk6973 Yes open enough to let the steam out. Otherwise you will have a mess to clean up! I have had to take my microwave apart to clean one big blow up. It blew my cover off and splattered the vent full! 🤷‍♀️

[@odinvolk6973]

@@leahwhiteley5164 so what I'm getting is open too much it blows up. they should maybe put that on the box somewhere.

I had a roommate that would microwave his steaks. He now lives on the streets.

[@forrestannis909]

Anything on the beyond fried chicken from KFC?

[@DarthRambaldi47]

8:12 I always boil my water in a tea kettle for my thrice daily French pressed coffee or the rare occasional cup of loose leaf Earl grey tea. I don't think I ever microwaved any of the other foods in this video. Not even a potato. But I kind of want to try nuking some halved grapes (at work of course, so if it goes bad I can blame the office idiot. Lol).

[@jonrob4675]

Oh no 😩😩

[@EVILGOKU1986]

Hard boil eggs literally explode if you nuke them. Mom learned that the hard way, took half an hour to clean the mess it left behind.

[@leahwhiteley5164]

That had to be funny *aftwrwards)

[@xMrDJ254x]

what kind of serial killers you hiring that eat their hotdogs by slicing and dipping in mustard while drinking w/ a glass of milk?

[@sativacation]

Unless you want to. It’s your microwave, for fuksake.

[@dfuss2756]

So basically, I don't need a microwave. Thanks! I have always hated the microwave. Now so can dump the darn thing. Community Aid here it comes!

[@annecollins1741]

Who would be that dumb enough to put grapes in a microwave?

[@leahwhiteley5164]

Watch out. I said the same about someone who tried to cook a whole chicken in the microwave and I got ripped for calling them dumb. Being stupid is a right, I guess.

[@newsense2435]

You can sterilize a damp sponge in about two minutes..... Hmmmm

[@SmokeyTreats]

If you make it fairly damp & put a drop or two of Dawn on it, after the 2 min use it to wipe the insides easily too.

[@Zedd_Han]

Well.. Too bad, I'm still gonna cook/reheat these things.

[@chaddentandt9868]

My microwave has been down for about 6 years. Lol

[@barbaramattson817]

DAVE!!

Most of this is common sense.....Oh Snapz that stuff isn't common anymore

Who the *fuck* is microwaving grapes?

[@madisonbrownlee6971]

u shouldn’t even consume hotdogs in general

[@63SpaceGirl]

My vote would be, NEVER PUT ANY FOOD in the microwave, it changes it into something your body cannot identify.

[@sir_christmas_leopold_duckson]

What a bunch of nonsense.
