Questions and Answers

1.

What should you never put in a microwave?
- A.
  
  Glass
- B.
  
  Soup
- C.
  
  Plastic
- D.
  
  Food
Correct Answer
C. Plastic

Explanation
Plastic should never be put in a microwave because it can melt or release harmful chemicals when exposed to high temperatures. Microwaves generate heat by emitting microwaves that excite water molecules in food, causing it to heat up. However, plastics are not microwave-safe and can warp, melt, or leach toxic chemicals into the food. Therefore, it is important to always use microwave-safe containers and avoid putting plastic in the microwave to ensure safety and prevent any potential health risks.

Explanation
When checking on foods, it is important to always look at the time labels.

Do you have to have food in a microwave while its running? true or false
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
When using a microwave, it is important to have food or a microwave-safe container inside. This is because microwaves work by emitting electromagnetic waves that heat up the water molecules present in the food. Without any food or liquid, there is a risk of the microwave's energy being absorbed by the microwave itself, which can cause damage to the appliance. Additionally, running a microwave without any food can lead to overheating and potential fire hazards. Therefore, it is necessary to have food in a microwave while it is running.

- A.
  
  Popcorn
- B.
  
  Chicken
- C.
  
  Potato
- D.
  
  Pizza
Correct Answer
B. Chicken

Explanation
The correct answer is chicken because chicken is not typically found as a pre-set food button on a microwave. While popcorn, potato, and pizza are commonly found as pre-set options on microwaves, chicken requires specific cooking times and settings that may vary depending on the recipe or type of chicken being cooked, making it less likely to have a dedicated button on a microwave.
