* Plastic U%ensils—Plastic
utensilsdesigned for microwave
cooking are very useful, but
should be used carefully. Even
microwave plastic may not be as
tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic
materials and may soften or
char if subjected to short periods
of overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking, the food
and utensils could ignite. For
thesereasons: 1) Use micro-
wave plastics only “and use
them” in strict compliance with
the utensil manufacturer’s
recommendations. 2) Do not
subject empty utensils to microwaving. 3) Do not permit children
to use plastic utensils without
complete supervision.
e When cooking
porkfollow
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
safeto eat.

e “Boilable”cooking pouches
and tightly closed plastic bags
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
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.
