Why do some frozen vegatables catch on fire in the microwave?!


Question: Why do some frozen vegatables catch on fire in the microwave!?
I see small flames about an inch high, and I've seen it in carrots, broccoli and green beans!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Most microwaves, by default, cook on high!.!.!. this is roughly enough power to cook a brick!.

Check your manual, and turn down the power level a notch or two!. So what if you cook on power level 7 instead of 10!? It might take, what, 20 seconds more to cook something!.!.!.

also, be sure these is no metal in the oven!. Are you sure the dish or bowl you are using has no metal in it!? The little flames could be sparks, not mere steam!.

Either you don't have enough water in there, or you're cooking them way too long!. Use about 1/2" water and cook them about 4-5 min (stir them up then - less, if they're thawed out)Www@FoodAQ@Com

maybe not enough water in your veggiesWww@FoodAQ@Com
