Mikrobølgesikre

Mikrobølgesikre describes materials or containers that are safe to use in a microwave oven. Microwave ovens work by emitting microwave radiation, which heats food by causing water molecules within it to vibrate. Certain materials can absorb this radiation, overheat, and potentially melt, warp, or even catch fire. Other materials can interfere with the microwave's operation or release harmful substances when heated.

Products labeled as mikrobølgesikre have been tested and deemed suitable for use in microwave heating. This typically means they will not absorb significant amounts of microwave energy, will not melt or deform under typical microwave heating conditions, and will not leach chemicals into food. Common mikrobølgesikre materials include glass, ceramic, and many types of plastic that are specifically designed for this purpose. It is important to look for this designation on food containers, plastic wraps, and other items intended for use with a microwave oven to ensure safety and proper function. Some items, such as metal and foil, are never mikrobølgesikre and can cause sparks and damage the oven.
