If you microwave bananas, they may catch on fire.
Although it may be rare, bananas could catch fire in the microwave and cause mini fireworks. A website received a question asking why a banana did this in the microwavable. Store-bought fruit is usually coated with wax to keep it fresher on the shelf.
It is possible that the banana caught fire due to the reaction of the radio waves. You may not get burned every time but are you willing to take the risk? Did you know bananas can be radioactive and could cause harm when combined with radio waves from a microwave? We’ll probably stick with heating bananas in the oven.
You can cook corn in a microwave.
Is there anything more satisfying than biting into an incredibly juicy and crunchy corn cob? No, we don’t. We wouldn’t recommend it unless you prefer your corn chewy and dry. This can result in the vegetable becoming dry and unusable.
You should boil the cobs of corn in water on your stovetop. If you must, then try to do it in the microwavable. Use a bowl with water and keep a close watch. Be careful how much water is used, as it can spill into the microwave.
