Microwave ovens offer a convenient way to heat food, but not all products are suitable for this method. Some may lose their flavor and texture or trigger hazardous chemical reactions.

This is reported by Glavpost.

1. Dairy Products

Milk and cream can curdle or lose their nutritional value if heated in the microwave.

2. Chicken and Meat

Meat, especially chicken, can become dry and tough if not reheated properly.

3. Food in Plastic Packaging

Plastic can release harmful substances when heated, so it's better to use containers specifically designed for microwaving.

4. Rice and Pasta

Leftover rice and pasta can dry out or heat unevenly, and improper reheating increases the risk of bacteria.

5. Honey

Honey loses its beneficial properties when overheated, so it's best to use it cold or in a water bath.

6. Chocolate

When heated, chocolate can lose its texture, so it's preferable to melt it using a water bath.

7. Seafood

Fish and other seafood become dry and tough when exposed to microwave heat.
