3種你不應該放進微波爐的餐具

Many people have a habit of reheating food with a microwave because it is convenient and fast. However, this may be harmful to our health.

很多人都有用微波爐加熱食物的習慣，因為這樣方便快捷。然而，這可能對我們的健康有害。

Many people believe that heating food in the microwave can cause hormonal disorders, abnormal blood function, weakened immune system, even leading to cancer. Is it true?

許多人認為用微波爐加熱食物會導致荷爾蒙失調(diào)，血液功能異常，免疫系統(tǒng)衰弱，甚至導致癌癥。是真的嗎?

Will eating foods heated by a microwave cause cancer?

吃微波爐加熱的食物會致癌嗎?

You have often heard that long-term use of a microwave will cause cancer due to the microwave operating by using radio frequency radiation (RF). In fact, this kind of radiation is around you day and night, whether you use a microwave or not.

你經(jīng)常聽說長期使用微波會導致癌癥，因為微波使用射頻輻射(RF)。事實上，無論你是否使用微波爐，這種輻射日日夜夜都在你身邊。

According to the American Cancer Society, the RF radiation produced by microwaves is stronger, but nevertheless, it is still safe within the permissible limits, as long as it is used properly and without any threats.

根據(jù)美國癌癥協(xié)會的說法，微波產(chǎn)生的射頻輻射較強，但只要正確使用，沒有任何威脅，它仍然在允許的范圍內(nèi)，是安全的。

Microwaves use extremely short electronic wavelengths to ripen food from the inside out. This method is simply understood as the water molecules in food under the influence of microwaves will move rapidly and generate heat to ripen food. If food is rich in water, the heating temperature does not even exceed 100 degrees Celsius, otherwise it reduces the risk of producing carcinogens. Therefore, there is no need to worry about microwaved food.

微波利用極短的電子波長從里到外使食物成熟。這種方法簡單地理解為食物中的水分子在微波的影響下會迅速移動并產(chǎn)生熱量使食物成熟。如果食物富含水，加熱溫度甚至不能超過100攝氏度，否則會降低產(chǎn)生致癌物質(zhì)的風險。因此，不用擔心微波食物。

The effect of microwaves on food

微波對食物的影響

Nutrients are destroyed by overheating, not just when used in a microwave. Cooking food in water or other liquids can also cause the nutrients in the food to fade.

營養(yǎng)物質(zhì)會因過熱而被破壞，不僅僅是在微波爐中使用。用水或其他液體烹調(diào)食物也會導致食物中的營養(yǎng)流失。

According to a Harvard University study, because of the quick microwave cooking and the use of very little liquid, it preserves nutrients better than some other cooking methods like boiling or steaming.

根據(jù)哈佛大學的一項研究，由于微波快速烹飪和使用很少的液體，它比其他一些烹飪方法，如煮沸或蒸，更好地保存了營養(yǎng)。

Many people believe that food cooked by a microwave will become contaminated, in fact the microwave will not cause radiation. The microwave only produces electromagnetic waves that cook food, so it cannot contaminate food, so you can feel secure when cooking with a microwave.

許多人認為用微波爐煮的食物會被污染，事實上微波爐不會產(chǎn)生輻射。微波爐只會產(chǎn)生電磁波來烹飪食物，所以不會污染食物，所以你用微波爐做飯時可以放心。

Of course, not all foods are suitable for reheating in a microwave.

當然，并不是所有的食物都適合在微波爐中重新加熱。

Do not put the following utensils in the microwave

不要將下列餐具放入微波爐

- Paper boxes, newspapers: The composition of the paper box contains syrofom, which is a plastic, so it is very toxic when exposed to high temperatures in the microwave. In addition, after paper products are heated in a microwave oven, high temperatures burn the paper bag. From there easily creates fire, can create toxic gas. So avoid heating food that is stored in paper or newspaper boxes in the microwave unless the box says "safe to use with a microwave."

-紙盒、報紙:紙盒的成分中含有聚苯乙烯，這是一種塑料，所以在微波爐的高溫下會有很高的毒性。此外，紙制品在微波爐中加熱后，高溫會燒壞紙袋。由此容易產(chǎn)生火災，會產(chǎn)生有毒氣體。所以不要在微波爐里加熱紙盒或報紙盒里的食物，除非盒子上寫著“可與微波爐安全使用”。

- Plastic containers, disposable foam boxes: Disposable plastic containers for yogurt, milk, butter ... or foam boxes for lunch should not be heated by a microwave. They are made for single use and are not suitable for high temperatures. Containers may be deformed or melt, releasing chemicals. Since then toxic substances will enter the food posing immeasurable danger to health.

-塑料容器，一次性泡沫盒:一次性塑料容器裝酸奶，牛奶，黃油…或者午餐泡沫盒不能用微波爐加熱。它們是一次性使用，不適合高溫。容器可能會變形或熔化，釋放出化學物質(zhì)。從那時起，有毒物質(zhì)將進入食品，對健康造成不可估量的危險。

- Metalware: Do not store food in metal objects such as aluminum, iron, steel... to reheat by microwave. The reason is that microwave microwaves do not penetrate the metal, but are reflected back into the walls of the furnace, causing heating around, leading to fires, damage to the oven and serious damage to people standing around.

-金屬制品:不要將食物存放在金屬物品中，如鋁、鐵、鋼等，用微波爐再加熱。原因是微波沒有穿透金屬，而是反射回爐壁，造成周圍加熱，導致火災，損壞烤箱和嚴重損害周圍站著的人。
