Some
producti
such as whole eggs and sealed
container~for example, closed jars-will
explode and should not be
heated
in this
microwave oven, Such use of the microwave
oven could result in injury.
●
Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even
without their lids; especially meat and egg
mixtures,
●
Don’t defrost frozen beverages in narrow
necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages).
Even if the container is opened, pressure can build
up,
This can cause the container to burst, possibly
resulting in injury,
●
Use metal only as directed in this book.
TV
dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than
3/4” high; remove top foil cover and return tray
to box. When using metal in the microwave oven,
keep metal at least 1 inch away from sides
of oven.
. Cookware may become hot
because of heat transferred
from the heated food. Pot
holders may be needed to
handle the cookware.
●
Sometimes, the turntable can become
too
hot
to touch.
Be careful touching the turntable during
and after cooking.
●
Foods cooked in liquids
(such as pasta) may tend
to boil over more rapidly than foods containing
less moisture. Should
this
occur,
refer

Plastic
cookwar~Plastic
cookware
designed
for microwave cooking is very useful, but should
be used carefully.
Even microwave-safe plastic
may not
be
as
tolermt
of overcooking conditions
as are glass or ceramic
rnaterhds
and may soften
or char if subjected to short periods of
overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking,
the food and cookware could ignite. For these
reasons: 1)
Use
microwave-safe plastics only and
use them in strict compliance with the cookware
manufacturer’s recommendations. 2) Do not
subject
empty
cookware to microwaving. 3) Do
not permit children to use plastic cookware
without complete supervision.

men
cooking pork,
follow
the
directions
exacdy
and always cook the meat to
an
internal
temperature of at least
170°F.

that,
in
the remote possibility that trichina may be present
in the meat,
it
will be
Uled
and
meat
will
be safe
to eat.
Q
Do not boil eggs in a microwave
oven.
Pressure
will build up inside egg yolk and
wi~
cause
it
to
burst, possibly resulting in injury.
.
Foods with unbroken outer
“skin”
such as potatoes,
sausages, tomatoes, apples,
chicken livers and other giblets,
and egg yolks (see previous
caution) should be pierced to
allow steam to
escape
during
cooking.
