A major side effect of reheating frozen foods, says science
Heat a quick meal in the microwave? Do not make this mistake.
Let's be real, we all want to be the person who makes elegant meals at home every night, serving our families dinner that we have meticulously designed in our well-organized kitchens - but very few people have time to do this reality dream. Most of the time, it's much easier to just throw a frozen meal in themicrowave.
Whatsoever a preset meal of thegrocery store Or something you did ... A moment ago that is ready to warm up, warm upfrozen food In the microwave is a simple and quick way to put a meal together, but it could also be dangerous asHeat frozen food in a microwave oven can lead you to ingest bacteria that still live in the cold spots of food.
Anyone who has already used a microwave has probably noticed that some bites of your warmed food will be burned, while others will be lukewarm. This is because the microwaves, while effectively doing the heating foods, do not cook them uniformly. Which can be a shame because sometimes your meal will have variable temperatures according to the place where you dig first, but it can also make a problem likeUnequal cooking does not get rid of bacteria effectively that can be in food.
In addition to cold spots, it has beenreported Microwave does not heat frozen food either as well as other heating methods. Indeed, the water molecules found in frozen foods are immobilized by ice crystals, which does not allow heat to effectively distribute the food.
A study ofMichigan University says that even microwaves that includePlatines may not heat the food properlyAnd bacteria can continue to live in frozen food after heating in the microwave.
The consumption of bacteria can lead tofood poisoning, which usually causes nausea, vomiting, fever and diarrhea.
To avoid bacteria living in cold food places, the home information center and the Garden of Clemson Universityrecommended Food stirring or rotating "halfway through cooking" and transforming large items upside down "prevent cold spots when harmful bacteria can survive."
The American Agriculture Department toorecommended Microwave food heating "up to reach at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit" throughout the entire flat, as well as leave time standing, which is when food continues to cook even if the microphone -Ades can be off.
