According to the report, cooking was said to be the leading cause of home fires and the third leading cause of home fire deaths between 2009 and 2013. The report would further state that there was an average of 430 deaths and $1.1 billion in direct property damage due to cooking fires.
The report from Fox13Memphis.com then claimed that the microwave was underestimated as a potential danger for fires in the home. The report highlighted that fact that various metallic and plastic containers were not safe to use in the microwave. Additionally some foods such eggs, grapes and hot peppers should never be placed in the microwave as these can either explode and cause a mess at high temperatures or become a fire hazard.
Other items and containers described that can cause a hazard in the microwave include paper bags, take-out containers, yogurt and butter containers, styrofoam, plastic storage containers and aluminum foil. Paper bags, for example, can release toxins that can potentially catch fire. Containers that have metal in them can easily catch fire and cause serious damage.
“The many inappropriate items used to cover or hold food in the microwave can be varied. However, as the report fom Fox13Memphis.com illustrates, these can be damaging or quite hazardous to health. Our microwave plates with lids sport the capability to be safely used in the microwave, possess two divided compartments and a vented lid,” remarked Monikas Marketplace.
Monikas Marketplace sells the Microwave Plates With Lids exclusively on the giant shopping portal, Amazon. The product is sold in a standard size 8 inch by 2 inch container that is BPA free.
