BACON

Safety Tip:

Bacon is an animal product and must be handled with care. Wash hands and surfaces immediately after handling. Cook with the appropriate heat and for the appropriate time. 

How to tell if bacon is safe to eat?

Smell. Bacon should not have a strong smell. It may have a smoky scent or smell like the seasonings used on it, but it should not be very distinct. If you open the package and smell a sulphuric or sour smell, that means the bacteria has spread throughout the meat, and the bacon has gone bad.

It's okay to put aluminum foil in the microwave

FALSE!

Aluminum foil is not safe to use in a microwave oven because it can cause arcing and sparks, potentially damaging the appliance or even starting a fire. Microwaves are electromagnetic radiation that excites water, fat, and sugar molecules, causing them to vibrate and generate heat. However, when microwaves encounter metal, they are reflected, and if the metal is thin or has sharp edges, these reflected waves can concentrate and create sparks.
