SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

ARCING

FOODS

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:

• Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

• Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).

• Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or gold-rimmed dishes, in the microwave.

• Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the microwave.

• Only cook popcorn in your microwave oven using a special microwave popcorn accessory dish, unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.

• Some products such as whole eggs (with shell), sealed containers, and closed jars –will explode and should not be heated in this microwave oven. Heating these products in the microwave oven could result in injury.

• Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure will build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

• Operating the microwave with no food inside for more than a minute or two may cause damage to the oven and could start a fire. It increases the heat around the magnetron and can shorten the life of the oven.

• Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such as potatoes, hot dogs, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam to escape before cooking.

If you see arcing, press the

“STOP/Clear” button and

correct the problem.

Microwave Terms

m Definition

Arcing Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by :

• Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

• Foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).

• Metal such as twist ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.

• Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.

Covering Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking

time. Venting plastic wrap or covering with wax paper allows excess steam to escape.

Shielding In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent

over-browning. When microwaving, you use small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on poultry, which would cook before larger parts.

Standing Time When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes are

allowed to stand to finish cooking or to set. Standing time is especially important in microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is not placed on a cooling rack.

Venting After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by turning

back one corner so excess steam can escape.

Helpful Information

• Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with the lid off. Make sure all infant food is thoroughly cooked. Stir food to distribute the heat evenly. Be careful to prevent scalding when warming formula. The container may feel cooler than the milk really is.

Always test the milk before feeding the baby.

• Spontaneous boiling-Under certain circumstances, liquids may start to boil during or shortly after removal from the microwave oven. To prevent burns from splashing liquid, we recommend the following: before removing the container from the oven, allow the container to stand in the oven for 30 to 40 seconds after the oven has shut off. Do not boil liquids in narrow-necked containers such as soft drink bottles, wine flasks and especially narrow-necked coffee cups. Even if the container is opened, excessive steam can build up and cause it to burst or overflow.

• Don’t defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bot tles (especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

• Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when opening any contain ers of hot food, including popcorn bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible injury, direct steam away from hands and face.

• Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.

• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly-meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160 F (71.1C). and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180 F (82.2C). Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against food borne illness.

SAFETY FACT

SUPERHEATED WATER

Microwaved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach the boiling point. They can actually get superheated and not bubble at all. Superheated liquid can bubble up when it is moved or when something like a spoon or tea bag is put into it. To prevent this from happening and causing injury, do not heat any liquid for more than 2 minutes per cup. After heating, let the cup stand in the microwave for 30 seconds before moving it or putting anything into it.

SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE

Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which do not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled “suitable for microwaving.”

• If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.

• Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled paper towels, napkins and waxed paper can contain metal flecks which may cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or nylon fila ment should be avoided, as they may also ignite.

• Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens. Check the package for proper use.

• Some styrofoam trays (like those that meat is packaged on) have a thin strip of metal embedded in the bottom. When microwaved, the metal can burn the floor of the oven or ignite a paper towel.

• Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to handle the cookware.

• “Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by package. If they are not, plastic could burst during or immediately after cooking, possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered because they form a tight seal. When cooking with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering carefully and direct steam away from hands and face.

• Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap can be used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.

How to test for a microwavesafe dish:

1 Place in the oven both the

dish you are testing and a glass measuring cup filled with 1 cup of water

2 Set the measuring cup either

in or next to the dish.

3 Microwave 1 minute at high.

If the dish heats, it should not be used for microwaving. If the dish remains cool and only the water in the cup heats, then the dish is microwave-safe.
