Oily foods
If you’re planning on eating oily food, make sure you don’t put it in the microwave to warm it up. That’s because oils have various heat tolerances and overexposure to heat can cause the oils to produce fumes and dangerous toxins. These toxins can be carcinogenic, the FDA warns.
Captain’s tip: To make sure your oily food is safe to eat (as safe as it can be, considering the oil content), do not reheat it in the microwave. Instead, put it in the oven and cook it low and slow until it reaches the optimum temperature.
