Black Grating In The Microwave
How many times have you put your food in the microwave and just… stood there, watching it rotate, waiting for the seconds to tick by?
Yeah, we know that feeling, even though we know our food won’t heat up any faster if we keep an eye on it.
Have you noticed the black grating in the microwave, though? It’s actually a safety feature designed to prevent the electromagnetic force from spilling out, thus preventing seriously harmful accidents from occurring in your own kitchen!
As a kid, I remember wishing it weren’t there so I could look at my food heat up within minutes in real time. Nowadays, I know I should be grateful that it’s even there.
