Microwave Myths Busted!

Microwaves make life easier, but are they safe for food and nutrition? Here’s what you need to know:

✅ Safe to Use:
No microwave leakage occurs as long as your appliance isn’t damaged.
No evidence links microwaving food to cancer.

🥗 Nutrition-Friendly:
Microwaving retains more vitamins (like C & B) in veggies compared to boiling or open flames due to shorter cook times.

❌ What Not to Microwave:
Avoid microwaving foods rich in n-3 unsaturated fatty acids (e.g., fish, egg yolks, yogurt) as it can reduce their nutrients.
Don’t heat hard-shell items (e.g., eggs) without puncturing them—they might explode! 💥

💡 Tips for Smart Microwave Use:
Follow instructions and avoid overcooking.
Stir food during cooking for even heating.
Skip reheating old or stored food—stay safe!

Microwaves are your kitchen ally if used wisely! 🚀🍲
