Here are reasons why you should not heat water and milk in the microwave.

Creation and appearance microwave There have been changes in our lives that have revolutionized the way we cook and eat. Heating food quickly and efficiently has been a necessity in homes for nearly 80 years. However, we still don’t know how to use them correctly.

Many people indifferently use the microwave for everything. This can cause the food to lose nutritional quality and even compromise its safety.

One of the most common mistakes when using this appliance is heating water and milk. This action makes it possible health risk which many people don’t know about. For example, it is estimated that heating milk in a microwave oven can cause the loss of up to half the nutrients contained in that food. It even reduces vitamin B12 up to 40%. This occurs, on the one hand, due to the high temperatures achieved, and on the other, due to the method of heating, since this can change the chemical and physical properties of the liquids.

Likewise, heating milk under inappropriate conditions may increase bacterial contamination and becomes a health risk. This is especially true if it comes in a container that is not microwave safe or has not been properly sanitized.

As for water, cooking it in the microwave can cause it to overheat. This occurs when the water level exceeds the permissible level. Boiling point, but without signs of boiling, that is, without bubbles. In this case, the water may appear colder than it actually is, and adding something or moving the container may cause rash and severe burns.

Finally, both liquids have the risk of “exploding” when heated in a microwave oven. This happens when the wrong containers are used, or if the liquid gets hotter than it should be, or if the liquids take too long to heat, causing too much internal pressure.
