3. Different foods have varying moisture/density, so same cook time is unsafe/ineffective (not a safe practice).
4. Heating to bubbly/steaming ensures food reaches a safe temperature to kill bacteria (safe practice).
5. Uncovered food can splatter, create mess, and may not cook evenly (not a safe practice).
6. Stirring ensures even cooking and hot spots are avoided (safe practice).
7. Thawing meat in the microwave is a safe, quick method when done properly (safe practice).
8. These container types are microwave-safe and won't leach harmful chemicals (safe practice).
9. Metal reflects microwave energy, causing sparks and fire hazards (not a safe practice).
