Is it right or wrong to heat the plastic crisper in a microwave oven?
Is it right or wrong to use microwave heating? Let’s take a brief look at it:
1. Ordinary plastic fresh-keeping boxes cannot be placed in microwave ovens and ovens, because plastics will produce substances harmful to the human body at high temperatures. If you often use a microwave oven for cooking, try to use a plastic container made of polycarbonate (PC); for continuous sterilization and washing at a high temperature of about 70 degrees, please do not exceed 20-30 minutes. The high-heat part of the ordinary dishwasher is at the bottom. The upper part is directly exposed to heat, so it is better to place it in the upper part of the dishwasher. Although plastic products made of polypropylene have a high heat resistance temperature, if they are heated for a long time, the products will be deformed and elongated. Therefore, if you want to use it immediately after cleaning, please soak the plastic crisper in cold water before using it. This is a good way to prevent deformation. In addition, the tempered glass plastic crisper may explode when it encounters extreme cold and extreme heat.
2. Different foods are kept at different times. Don't rely solely on the sealing ability of plastic fresh-keeping boxes, but eat them as soon as possible. The P.P (polypropylene) plastic container can be heated for a short time when used in a microwave oven, but it cannot be used as a cooking container used in a microwave oven. (When heating and thawing for a short time, do not exceed 3 minutes.)
3. When putting it into the microwave oven, you must first loosen the lid joint device before using it. If used after locking the lid, the plastic crisper may deform or burst due to pressure. When used in a microwave oven, if the food contains more oil and sugar, the plastic crisper will be deformed if the temperature rises rapidly.
4. When cleaning the plastic fresh-keeping box, use a softer sponge and do not use a hard dish cloth to avoid scratches and discoloration of the plastic fresh-keeping box. When cleaning the silicone resin liner between the lid and the container, please do not pull it forcefully, otherwise it will break or become longer.
5. Hot food will expand the air and reduce the sealing function of the plastic crisper, so you should wait for the food to cool down before storing it. The bubbles of carbonated drinks (soda drinks, candies, etc.) will cause the sealing of the plastic fresh-keeping box to be lost. Please do not store it in the plastic fresh-keeping box.
