Intense heat may cause a bag to ignite, causing a fire in the oven One-time use plastic containers -- such as yogurt, margarine or sour cream -- shouldn't be used in the microwave. They're intended just for one time use and aren't equipped to withstand high heat. The containers could warp or melt in the microwave, which can release chemicals into your food. Don't let the internet fool you -- making hard boiled eggs in the microwave oven is trouble.
If you try to hard boil eggs in your microwave you're likely to end up with a big mess to clean up. The rapid heat from the microwaves creates a lot of steam in the egg. The steam has no where to go except to explode out so that's exactly what it does. Most of us have heard this before, but just in case a few of you are still reheating your take out in these containers, keep this in mind: styrofoam is a type of plastic.
And plastic doesn't play nice in the microwave -- unless otherwise marked on the container. Some fruit might be able to withstand the heat, but not all. Grapes will explode.
And raisins will smoke. Careful guys. A fork is more dangerous than a spoon because it contains thin prongs that will heat more quickly. Spoons contain thick metal throughout, which takes a longer time to heat. The danger associated with metal in the microwave is when a small part of the metal can heat quickly and start a fire.
Forks are more dangerous than other utensils when they are placed in the microwave. Aluminum foil is very thin and can be a fire hazard if placed in the microwave. Foil often crinkles, which creates sharper edges that will heat more quickly than other parts of the foil. When this happens, a fire is more likely to start. It is never a good idea to use aluminum foil in the microwave. This is a highly debated issue for one main reason. The research shows that aluminum foil leach into your food when you heat the aluminum with your food.
You can read more from that study here. However, your exposure may increase to unhealthy levels if you frequently use aluminum foil when microwaving or baking. Aluminum foil is not the best choice for covering your food in the microwave or the stove. It is still a good idea to have a microwave-safe lid to make sure your food heats evenly. There are silicon microwave-friendly lids that contain holes to allow steam to exit the container safely.

This does not mean that it is a good idea to leave your spoon in the food. When you place food in the fridge, leaving a metal spoon in food might cause the metal to leach into the food. Mar 10, Malcolm Mar 14, Mar 15, Sounds pretty dangerous. I like microwaves, they make me ramen noodles everyday. I learned that I won't die if I put a spoon in the microwave.

Lucas Feb 24, I WONDER, if other things with electrons and such do the same thing as metal in a microwave if you put those things in a microwave. BobTheBuilder Mar 1, You of all people should know, Bob.
Brooklyn Feb 24, Silverware and microwaves get along like water and electronics. To heat your food the microwave will send heat waves that warm up the water molecules in your food. The food can then release the pressure this causes as steam.
You will get warnings of electrical buzzing noises and little lightning like bolts before a fire starts. This will let you know in case you accidentally leave silverware in the microwave. Stainless steel has been a popular material for cooking utensils and dishes.
Many people have even switched to stainless steel forks and spoons. What happens if you put steel in the microwave? To sum it up, you should never put any type of steel in the microwave. Steel spoons will cause the same issues that metal and silverware spoons cause when they are put in the microwave.
