Brief Explanations
- One common food item unsafe for microwaving is whole eggs in their shells; the steam buildup can cause them to burst.
- Microwaves heat food by interacting with polar molecules, specifically water, fats, and sugars, as these molecules vibrate to generate heat.
- Covering food in the microwave prevents splatters, retains moisture to keep food moist, and helps food heat more evenly by trapping steam.
