* Plastic lJtensi9s-Plastic
utensils designed for microwave
cooking are very useful, but
should be used carefully, Even
microwave plastic may not be as
tolerant of overbooking condi­tions as are glass or ceramic
materials and may soften or
char if subjected to shart period$
of overcooking. In kmger expo­sures to overcooking, the fmd
and utensils could ignite. For
these reasons: 1) Use rnicro­wave plastics only “and use
them” in strict compliance with
the utensil manufacturer’s
recommendations. 2) Do not
subject empty utensiis to rnicro­waving. 3) Do not permit children

to

use plastic utensils without

complete supervision.

● Foods with unbroken outer
