The microwave is one of our favorite kitchen appliances, because it gets our food nice and warm in no time. There are still some things you should never put inside it, because they’re a secret safety hazard.

Hard-Boiled Eggs

Unless you want your hard-boiled eggs to explode and make a huge mess inside your microwave, it’s best not to put them inside.

Frozen Meat

Defrosting meat by using a microwave may seem like a genius hack at first, but it’s actually not recommended. Heat won’t be evenly distributed and the middle will likely still stay frozen.

Broccoli

Broccoli is one of the healthiest vegetables on the market, but if you heat it up inside a microwave, most of its healthy nutrients will be destroyed.

What started out as a casual attempt to make the most out of my leftover veggies… quickly turned into a side of the most delicious bowl of broccoli I have ever made. And yes— you read that correctly. Broccoli. 😏👌🥦 Sticky, tangy, tender, umami-kissed broccoli. Stir-fried with coconut aminos until lightly caramelized, and served with some steamed jasmine rice, sesame, and a sultry little squeeze of lime on top. 🤤 So. Damn. Good. And simple. And satisfying. __ Sesame Umami Broccoli 🥦: 1 cup lightly steamed broccoli 2 tsp. coconut aminos 1-2 tsp. sesame oil fresh lime sesame seeds *Add your sesame oil to a pan along with the broccoli and sauté for 1-2 minutes over medium heat. Turn up the heat and add the coconut aminos plus a squeeze of lime, and continue cooking until caramelized. Serve on top of steamed jasmine rice with an extra squeeze of lime on top and toasted sesame seeds. Add a pinch of maldon salt if needed. Or some chili flakes. 🔥 Devour! #hanmadebyhg

Tomato Sauce

If you want to enjoy delicious red sauce pasta, opt for heating the sauce up on the stove, because it won’t do any favors to your microwave, and you’ll spend forever cleaning it up.
