Microwaves are the second most common cause of residential kitchen fires! Here is a list of items that SHOULD NEVER go in a microwave:
- Paper bags
- Take-out containers
- Metal/Aluminum Foil
- Styrofoam
- Grapes (They will explode and could catch on fire)
- Cookware with metal trim
- Plastic storage containers without a “Microwave Safe” label
- Nothing (When there's nothing in the microwave to absorb the microwaves, the microwave can actually catch fire or cause damage to the microwave)
