As a expert manufacturer in the field of utensílios de cozinha em aço inoxidável, I will now explain to you from a professional perspective the principle that stainless steel food storage containers or lunch boxes can be put in the microwave.

How microwave ovens work

Whether stainless steel can be used in microwave ovens is a complex question that depends mainly on the shape of the stainless steel utensil, its intended use, and the design of the microwave oven. Microwave ovens heat food by generating microwaves, which are electromagnetic waves. These waves make the water molecules in the food vibrate, generating heat, thereby heating the food.

Interaction Between Metal and Microwaves:

Generally, it is not recommended to put metal in a microwave because metal reflects microwaves, leading to several potential issues:

❶Arcing: If the metal utensil has sharp edges or points, it can cause arcing, which may damage the microwave or even cause a fire.

❷Microwave Reflection: Metal reflects microwaves, which can result in uneven microwave distribution inside the oven, making it difficult to heat food effectively.

❸Microwave Leakage: Improper use of metal can lead to microwave leakage, posing a safety hazard.

Using Stainless Steel in Microwaves

While it is generally not recommended to put metal in a microwave, there are certain situations where stainless steel utensils can be used safely:

❶Specially Designed Utensils: Some stainless steel containers are specifically designed for microwave use. Their shape and material treatment reduce the risk of arcing and reflection. For example, this stainless steel food storage box features a rounded design and is made from a single piece of stainless steel. During microwave heating, the free electrons distribute evenly along the edges without sharp corners, preventing them from colliding and creating sparks. Therefore, such metal containers can be safely used in the microwave.

❷Short-Term Heating: Stainless steel utensils can be used for short-term heating, but they must be closely monitored to prevent accidents. It is advisable to use a gradual heating approach, ensuring not to heat for a long period at once. The heating time should ideally not exceed five minutes, and heating should be done in intervals. Avoid placing an empty box in the microwave, and ensure the microwave’s turntable is functioning correctly to avoid prolonged heating on one side, which could be dangerous.

❸Specific Foods: Heating certain foods (like water or other liquids) in stainless steel containers is relatively safe, provided the container has no sharp edges or uneven surfaces. When placing the container in the microwave, ensure it is centered and does not touch the microwave’s walls or door.

Safety Recommendations

❶Read the Manual: Before using, carefully read the instructions for both the microwave and the stainless steel container, and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines. Avoid sharp edges: Ensure the stainless steel utensils do not have sharp edges or damaged areas to reduce the risk of arcing.

❷Monitor Usage: When first attempting to use a stainless steel container in the microwave, closely observe the situation inside the microwave to ensure no abnormal occurrences.

❸Short Heating Times: Minimize heating times to avoid prolonged use of stainless steel utensils.

In addition, it is necessary to remind everyone that metal objects used for microwave heating must be specially designed and have the appropriate shape. So, please don’t put your household metal utensils in the microwave for experiments! Whether you are buying individually or purchasing wholesale food storage containers, it is wise to choose products with microwave safety certification.
