@ When cooking pork follow
our directions exactly and
always cook the meat to at least
170°. This assures that, in the
remote possibility that trichina
may be present in the meat, it
will be killed and meat will be
safe to eat.

e Boilingeggs (in andout of

microwave cooking. Pressure
can build up inside egg yolk and
may cause it to burst, resulting
in injury,

a Foods with unbrokenouter

“skin”such as potatoes, hot

dogs or sausages, tomatoes,
apples, chicken livers and other
giblets, and eggs (seeabove)
should be pierced to allow
steam to escape during cooking.

@ ‘Boilable”cookingpouches

andtightlyclosedplasticbags

should be slit, pierced or vented
as directed in Cookbook. If they
are not, plastic could burst dur­ing or immediately after cooking,
possibly resulting in injury. Also,
plastic storage containers should
beat 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,
