Heating food in plastic containers can release harmful chemicals. For safer results, transfer your food to a glass container.

3. Skipping Stirring

If you don't stir your food midway through cooking, it can heat unevenly. Stirring halfway through helps distribute heat better.

4. Always Full Power

Using full power for every dish isn't ideal, as certain foods benefit from lower settings. Adjust the power according to the type of food.

5. No Resting Time

Skipping the resting period after cooking can result in uneven temperatures. So, allow the food to sit for a minute or two.
