Microwave Mistakes You’re Probably Making
Thawing, then storing
If you choose to thaw food in your microwave, you must eat it immediately after. If that’s food safe to eat raw, that’s fine, and if it’s food that must still be cooked, cook it right away after microwave thawing, and consume it. Microwave-thawed food left on a counter or even in the refrigerator can grow harmful bacteria.
