Steel bowl in microwave.

It isn t a good idea to put stainless steel in a microwave. If it s plastic check the bottom of the mug to see if it s marked as microwave safe. The stainless steel will block the heat from warming your coffee or tea and can damage your microwave. I always use a microwave to reheat my coffee that is in a stainless steel travel mug that has plastic top and handle.

You can simply refrigerate reheat and serve your food in these food safe bowls without worrying about changing containers. Not only that the following also cannot be used. A good rule of thumb is to avoid putting thin metals into a microwave forks knives spoons aluminum foil etc thick metals or metal objects with no obvious thin edges are probably okay. They can however induce an electric current in the bowl which is likely to have no consequence unless the metal has jagged edges or points.

Then arcing can occur and sparks will fly. Depending on what else is in the microwave the sparks can cause a fire. If a smooth metal bowl is used the only observation will be that the food doesn t warm up. If it s made from stainless steel don t nuke it.

Avoid leaching of harmful toxins from plastic containers into your food and keep your family healthy and safe. If you ve ever accidentally left a fork on the plate of food you re heating up you know that metal and microwaves don t play so nicely together. The microwaves will not penetrate the metal. In fact you cannot use any vessel or item that contains metal.

The stainless steel will block the heat from warming your coffee or tea and can damage your microwave. Many travel mugs are not safe to put in the microwave. The increased energy can be enough to ignite paper and even ionize the air inside the oven which happens when you nuke a fork. Newspaper is not sanitary and it leaches ink into whatever you re cooking so don t use it.

Stainless steel is highly reflective and can amplify the energy of the microwaves generated by the magnetron. Mini lightening bolts are pretty to be sure but a bit frightening when they re in your kitchen. If it s plastic check the bottom of the mug to see if it s marked as microwave safe. Even without causing a fire these sparks can damage the inside of the microwave and make it unsafe to use.

Bonita s paradise microwave safe stainless steel bowls will now change the way you reheat your food.
