My friend is afraid to buy a microwave - she thinks that it is harmful to health

Microwave ovens have a history of about 40 years. But, there is still no reliable data on how harmful this device is to health.

After moving to a new house and updating kitchen appliances, we bought a Samsung microwave oven. I believe that this appliance can be used to heat ready-made food. But to be honest, I don’t dare to cook in it for a long time. After all, it is clear that this is a very large business, and it will not allow publishing reliable data if it indicates that it can reduce sales.

Therefore, I still prefer to be careful. After all, the principle of operation of a microwave oven is that radio frequency waves interact with water and fat in the oven and set them in motion, from which they heat up. And during operation, the device emits a certain amount of radiation. But they say that this amount is such that it does not harm a person. If you don't sit on the microwave all day, nothing bad will happen.

Therefore, we bought a good, modern stove, we use it exclusively for warming up. And we do not inspire ourselves with various horror stories, because all diseases, as they say, are from nerves.

By the way, I saw in many that protective caps are not used in ovens. I’ll say right away - it’s in vain. In a day or two I wash my cap and there is so much fat inside it that it’s scary to think how it would end up inside the stove. Washing it there is a big hassle.

Therefore, I advise you to always use the hood. Of course, you can't put it in a small microwave, it's inconvenient. Although they exist in all sizes. But we have it built-in, so it is very solid in size.

And one more trick that I use in my favorite. The control panel and door are often stained with fingerprints. The best way to clean them up is to use a cell phone cleaner.

It is silicone-based, instantly removes all traces and keeps it clean for a long time - just wipe it with a universal cloth and the panel is clean again.
