Microwave. What can we do in it?

[Natasha]

butter in the washer

Natasha, butter cream did

I went to read what can be cooked in the microwave, I almost woke my husband up with laughter.

[Natasha]

Natasha, butter cream did

Almost))):

Butter in the washing machine

I don't want to pump it up, but I am slowly removing the foil from everyday life:
Why is aluminum foil harmful?

Laris, reminds of another horror story from the opera "Why the microwave is harmful"

you didn't have enough of my butter in the washer, right?)))

Natus, well, you wondered how much fun it was, and I cho bald gallery... Here's how I will make delicious fish, you will envy me later! I won't tell you anything

Interesting tips for using microwave

In order for the microwave oven to serve for a long time, do not test its strength with products and objects, "communication" with which it is contraindicated. And these are unpeeled eggs, metal and gilding on dishes. In addition, one should not forget that:

1. The work of the stove "idle", without food inside, shortens the service life.
2. To heat a small amount of food, it is advisable to put a glass of water in the oven.
3. Close the empty stove until it clicks - there is no need to ventilate it.
4. Follow the directions for cooking.
5. Do not place tightly closed containers in the microwave, do not dry or heat dishes there, do not sterilize jars and bottles.
6. It is better to cook and heat soups on the stove, and not in the microwave oven - excess moisture harms it.

From the sixth point, I fell into a stopper.

[Sveta]

Sveta, on the wrong forum and in the wrong topic you posted advice Now one of our girls will read and think: "Oh! But this we have not done in the micros!" And he will definitely do it !!!

Laris, reminds of another horror story from the opera "Why the microwave is harmful"

No, Zhenya, there was just an unproven horror story about the microwave oven, and the fact that aluminum is harm is already a known and irrefutable fact.

Aluminum is undoubtedly harmful, therefore, some special protective layer of something is applied to aluminum dishes during manufacturing ... This protective layer is not very stable, you cannot rub hard with sponges, washcloths, etc. I would like to believe that they also apply to the foil some kind of protective layer ... But in general, I thought about it .... It's hard to refuse foil, everything works out too well in it. M. b., First wrap up the food in several. layers of parchment paper, and then in foil? ...

[Zebra]

Zebra, the first food foil was the same on both sides, later the foil became shiny on one side, and matte on the other, as if something had been applied.

Now I rummaged for a long time, but I did not find any information about any protective layer on the foil, but I found that the foil is even more harmful than aluminum dishes:
“Pots and other aluminum kitchen utensils tend to oxidize, providing an inert layer that prevents aluminum from entering the food. Washing the dishes erases this protective layer. But boiling water in these dishes several times will cause the inner surface to oxidize again. matt, creating a natural protection that prevents aluminum leaching.
Cooking in aluminum foil is a completely different story. Aluminum foil is disposable and we cannot create an inert layer on it before using it.
The study, referenced below, has shown that the migration of aluminum into food wrapped in aluminum foil during cooking results in aluminum concentrations well above the safe limits recommended by the World Health Organization. 🔗
Research proves that aluminum foil should not be used for cooking. Instead, it is recommended to use stainless steel, glass or porcelain containers as safe dishes.
For example, cooking meat in aluminum foil can increase the aluminum content of the finished dish by up to 378% !!!
🔗
Foil is less dangerous for wrapping and storing cold food for a short period of time. But during long-term storage, aluminum will inevitably begin to react with the product stored in the foil.
The results of the study referenced below indicate that the level of aluminum in milk stored in aluminum cans and in dairy products packed in aluminum foil bags is out of range and suggests a health hazard.

Well ... and which side to wrap?

I found this ...
Shiny side up or down?

You've probably noticed that aluminum foil is shiny on one side and matte on the other. This is the result of the manufacturing process. First, two sheets of foil are squeezed between the rollers, and then they are separated. The inner surfaces of both sheets are dull, and the sides that were in contact with the rollers are shiny.
Which side of the aluminum foil should face the food? Common sense and physics tell us that the shiny side of the foil will reflect more radiated heat, so it should be on the outside for chilled food to keep the temperature, and on the inside during cooking to absorb heat better. In fact, there is very little difference between the amount of reflection from both sides, not at all worth the chef's concern..

health hazard.

And so - always: the next day they sharply reject what the undoubted benefits of which, publicly broadcast yesterday ...

[Smile]

Smile, about the undoubted benefits of aluminum? Its harm has been proven for a very, very long time!

We also write about this. Now you don't even know what is more harmful: aluminum, plastic ... I stopped storing food in plastic either. Old good glass is best.
Not so long ago they wrote about the dangers of enameled dishes. But now we have so much of her, and so beautiful.

well, everything is moving on to steel, glass and porcelain, anyway, the foil has long run out.

Not so long ago they wrote about the dangers of enameled dishes. But now we have so much of her, and so beautiful.

Irene, well, enameled dishes have never been considered harmful, they become harmful in one case - with chips and cracks, that is, you need to use dishes with an absolutely complete coating.

some special protective layer of something is applied to aluminum dishes during manufacturing ... This protective layer is not very stable, you cannot rub it hard with sponges, washcloths, etc.

Tanya, they don't put anything on the aluminum sheet before stamping, believe the old metalworker. It's just that the thinnest oxide film forms on aluminum, which protect us from pure aluminum. Under abrasive action, this film can be broken, but very quickly the metal oxidizes and this film is again there.

[Ilmirushka]

Ilmirushka, I read a lot about the dangers of the enamel itself.It also consists of something harmful.

[Irene]

Oh, Irene, to live, as they say, in AAA

Well, what are the opinions of citizens about baking bags in the oven instead of foil. It's dumb for me to use it.

[Zebra]

Zebra, I often bake in them than in foil, because everything is clearly visible and unnecessary,
while burning, unfold the foil, and if anything, just pierce the bag ...

citizens' opinions on baking bags in the oven instead of foil

I rarely bake, I now have more sous-vid, but I have not used foil for baking for a long time. It is much more convenient in bags and for some reason more liquid comes out, so I think it bakes better

And my foil sparks in the microwave.

And my foil sparks in the microwave.

Shouldn't you?

[Longina]

Longina, so you can ditch the magnetron.

The girls were distracted by something, did they wash the rags? Today I washed 2 times, first 2 microfiber pieces, then a small kitchen towel. I began to do this regularly, it is not convenient for me in a plastic bag, I adapted a plastic container. I want to share a way to get rid of the smell of soap in the microwave, after the microwave has worked with the washing machine, I do not like the smell inside, and so I pour half a glass of water and a couple of lemon slices into the same container, you can even use the leftovers from tea drinking. I boil it all for 2 minutes at a stroke. And the microvalnovochka smells like lemon and not soap!

Well, what are the opinions of citizens about baking bags in the oven instead of foil.

I didn't notice that the question was about the oven. I decided that once in the topic about the microwave, the foil is also used here.

[Alla]

something distracted, washed the rags?

Alla,, I do, in general, now I regularly shove some rags-towels into it. My husband very carefully and even suspiciously looks at these strange manipulations of mine ...

And I really enjoyed using the micra for washing. I even tried yellowed pillowcases

[Ilmira]

Ilmira, yes, this is definitely about suspicious, it is necessary to cook, cook in it and not arrange laundry, although my towel was very well washed off. I had an old bar of soap, I had to dispose of it, I let it go for washing and the last time I added a little more liquid soap, everything went well. But then I don't like the smell inside the micro.
Mrs. Addams, a good idea I also have 2 pillowcases somewhere, I must try.

I even tried yellowed pillowcases

And I did that. Washed well.
But once there was a "flood". There was too much moisture in the bag. Therefore, now I squeeze harder.

[Longina]

Longina, I have a very old microwave oven, without grill and convection, which they didn’t put home ones in, they even forgot spoons a couple of times, everything works. But I remember that the instructions for it described in detail how exactly you can use the foil in it - like wrapping it tightly without cracks and laying if several pieces do not touch. really, I never tried it.

I don't know how others in the micr use foil or put cans with metal lids in it. Any attempt I made with foil or any metal instantly triggers fireworks inside! My micra is not the easiest one, with convection, but it categorically does not accept anything metallic.
The exception is the metal stands that were included, plus I bought another one. I don’t know what they are covered with, but they don’t sparkle.

Before, I was also sure of the impossibility of using metal. I read it on our forum, tried it - now I use it.

[Anna]

Anna, as??? Maybe I missed something?

I started with sterilizing cans with metal twist lids, and then met. I put the bowl from the combine))) I sometimes quickly raise the yeast dough in the micra.

[$ vetLana]

$ vetLana, Svetlana, I have been washing kitchen sponges for a long time in the microscope, but I haven't tried the rags.
Worth washing!

[Anna]

Anna, I have a responsive cover. I distribute the dough in a micron in plastic.

Before, I was also sure of the impossibility of using metal. I read it on our forum, tried it - now I use it.

Here I am, too, now I sterilize jars with screw caps only there

[svetta]

svetta, in, and Dandelion with me.

[Anna1957]

Anna1957, does the dough in the bowl burn? Or some kind of special is used. mode other than microwaves?

Does the dough in the bowl burn?

In half a minute? Does not burn. I have the most primitive micra.

Started with sterilizing cans with metal twist lids

I also, now sterilize jars with screw caps only there

Likewise.
And in different MPs. In a rented apartment there was a simple / old / high-quality German woman, then a modern, and now "cool" LG. Everything is fine, the flight is normal.

$ vetLana, Svetlana, I have been washing kitchen sponges for a long time in the microscope, but I haven’t tried rags. Worth washing!

Required. The main thing is that they smell like boiled linen. I have so.
Girls, look into the topic
Let's help a man save his legs !!!

And I washed kitchen napkins in a micron. Now I put the wash in the machine, let's see what happens.

[Creamy]

Creamy also washed yesterday in the microwave. Removed stains on old kitchen linen towels. I decided to allocate a special glass saucepan for washing in the microwave.

Well, they just provoked me with their microwave towels.
I'll take the stained towel to work with me and stuff it into the micra.

Well, I did it! Stuck in 2 kitchen towels and the men are light socks. Washed very well!

I propose to take a break from the laundry and do what the micra is intended for - cooking.

Maybe this has already happened here, but for someone it will be new. So, I cut the eggplants into slices of about 1 cm, the tomatoes the same way. Lay out a layer of eggplant on a flat plate, a layer of tomato on top. Salted eggplants. I put it in the microwave for 10 minutes at full power. Then she anointed the ready-made ones with a mixture of cheese-garlic-mayonnaise. There are no pictures, first they ate, then I remembered about them.
Fast and clean. I would be very glad if it is useful to someone.
