Stainless steel has traditionally been considered unfit for microwave ovens, but some stainless steel can be safely placed in the microwave due to advancements in technology and materials.
Allnice is a professional manufacturer of stainless steel catering supplies, knowing the people-oriented key interior safety and practicality in terms of kitchenware. Microwave ovens have become common elements of contemporary kitchens; hence, most will ask whether their stainless steel catering supplies are safe when they heat food in a microwave oven.
Is it safe for stainless steel to be microwaved?
First, not all stainless steel catering supplies are safe for microwave heating. Some specially developed and certified stainless steel containers can safely be microwaved.
For instance, stainless steel containers without intricate metal decorations, special sharp edgese lack of electromagnetic shielding benefit from less reflection of microwaves hence less chance of sparking. Therefore, some of the stainless steel containers (mainly food-grade 304 stainless steel) must be specially prepared and treated before application in microwaves, making their use still limited by many manufacturers of microwave oven equipment.
Not most standard extensive stainless steel catering supplies, for instance, traditional plates made of stainless steel, bowls, or containers that have metal trim, will also not fit into the category of microwave safe. This is simply because they reflect microwaves, producing uneven heat inside the food and possible sources of even sparks, which in turn could initiate a fire.
Allnice stainless steel catering supplies: the ideal combination of quality and security
Though stainless steel catering supplies may not be fully microwave-safe, all that Allnice strives to produce are stainless steel catering products that would be safe and durable in their design and materials. Allnice uses 304-grade stainless steel, which is:
- Excellent high-temperature resistance: It can withstand high-temperature conditions because it’s a stainless steel that can be used for stir-fry cooking and making soups to use during steaming. It is not to be used in microwaves.
- Stronger corrosion resistance: The above metals are resistant to corrosion, and non-rusty at either high humidity or acidic environments, thus food safety is maintained.
- Metal-free decorative design: Normally, Allnice’s stainless steel cutlery is without any metal decorations or coatings, which prevents possible problems with microwave reflections or sparks due to the metal accessories.
- Easily cleanable and maintainable: The stainless steel is made with smooth surfaces, thus also very easy to clean, prolonged, and beautiful to use.
How can I use the microwave safely?
Recommended would be glass or ceramic containers, even microwave-specific plastic ones, to heat foods. None of these materials reflected microwave radiations but ensured good, even, safe heating.
In addition, our catering supplies are top-of-the-line, even regarding what really matters in kitchen and eating place performance. Utensils such as pots, pans, saucepans, and dinner plates completed with stainless steel make for a complete traditional cooking experience.
