7 Tips to make your Microwave last longer:

1) Give it Space

Because of all the heat that it produces microwaves need to ventilate. Ensure that the fans are open and well ventilated and make sure there are at least four inches of clearance on both sides, and at least three inches from the back wall.

2) Clean it Frequently

The microwave’s energy can be absorber in little splatters and bits of food causing burn spots that damage the interior and components. This is the biggest cause of malfunctions and breakdowns in microwaves. So, it’s essential to be quick with clean-up.

Wipe food down as soon as you’re done, or even better, make sure to cover food with paper towels, wax paper, or loose lids to prevent splatter. When cleaning, be watchful of the mesh in the door, do not damage this as it keeps microwaves from escaping and zapping you.

3) Easy with the Door

Microwave latches are more complex than people realize. There might be as many as three switches that must all close in the correct order. Close the door carefully. Also, avoid opening the microwave door while it’s on, switch it off first as this could cause a safety fuse to blow.

4) Use Pre-Programmed Cooking Times

Make a habit of using the pre-programmed cooking times. The pre-programmed cooking times are designed to use the microwave more effectively by heating the food as effectively as possible, minimizing energy loss, and also preventing food from overcooking. Unfortunately, a lot of repairs happen when someone accidentally put 50 minutes into the control unit rather than 5 minutes, causing the microwave to fry itself.

5) Use the Right Dishes

If sparks start to fly while the microwave is on, it could damage the microwave significantly, turn off the microwave immediately and remove the item. Be careful to avoid using anything containing metal, aluminum foil, and dishes with silver or gold inlays and accents. Also, take time to notice if a container or part of a container becomes considerably hotter than the food, and avoid using that container in the future.

6) NEVER run it on Empty

Do not use the microwave as a timer, most microwaves have a separate timer function that can be used as an alternative. An empty microwave will be forced to absorb the energy produced into its own components which could cause serious damage.

7) Use Smaller Containers

Smaller containers cook the food a lot faster because the container itself also draws the heat from the food, so the bigger your container, the longer it will take to heat up. You’ll be able to make your microwave last a lot longer If you can cook your food in a shorter amount of time,

8 Biggest Mistakes you Make with your Freezer:

1. Setting the Temperature Too High

The temperature on your freezer should be set as low as it can go for long-term food storage. Keep your ice cream that becomes too hard to scoop in the freezer door where the temperature is a little higher.

2. Defrosting at Room Temperature

It can be dangerous to take food out of a freezer and defrost it on the counter because bacteria may start growing on the surface even before it’s fully defrosted. Always defrost in the fridge or microwave oven.

3. Not Wrapping Food Properly

The most important thing is to remove as much air as possible from your packed food. Make sure to smooth all the packaging and squeeze out or extract any extra air, whether you’re using plastic or Ziplock bags, or aluminum foil. With Tupperware, try to fill it almost to the top to prevent the freezer burn at the top, but also be careful to leave a small gap, the food will need room to expand as it freezes. Also, re-wrap food properly when putting leftovers back into the freezer.

4. Waiting Too Long to Freeze

Old food won’t miraculously freshen up when frozen, it’ll still taste old when you heat it again.

5. Freezing Foods that Become a Big Clump

If you freeze foods like strawberries, bananas, or hamburgers, they’ll probably freeze together into one big lump. Rather freeze them first on a baking sheet and put them in a freezer bag after they’ve become frozen, it’ll stop them from clumping together.

6. Keeping the Freezer Nearly Empty or Totally Overpacked

Empty freezers have to work much harder to cool all the empty space and this puts a lot more strain on the motor. On the other hand, the air won’t circulate properly, if a freezer is too full.

7. Re-Freezing Defrosted Food

Food that has defrosted (even though still icy cold) should be used and eaten as soon as possible. Rather toss the food than get sick if you have any doubts!

8. Freezing Food Too Long

Rotate items in your freezer to put the oldest food in the front. Remember to write dates on containers and bags when you freeze food.
