SAFETYFACT

SUPERHEATED WATER

Liquids, such as water,
coffee or tea, are able to

be overheated beyond the
boiling point without
appearing to be boiling.

Visible bubbling or boiling
when the container is

removed from the microwave
oven is not always present.

THIS COULD RESULT
IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS
SUDDENLY BOILING OVER

WHEN THE CONTAINER IS
DISTURBED OR A SPOON
OR OTHER UTENSIL IS
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

To reduce the risk of ii/jury
to persolls:

-- Do not overheat the

liquid.

-- Stir the liquid both

heft)re and hall\ray

through heating it.

-- Do not use straight-

sided containers with

narrow necks.

--Alter heating, allow the

container to stand in

the illicrowave ()veil

fi)r a sl-lort time befi)re

removing the container.

-- Use extreme care when

inserting a spoon or
other utensil into the

• Avoid heating baby tood
in glass.jars, even with

the lid off. Make sure all
infimt tood is thoroughly

cooked. Stir tood to
distribute the lleat evenly.

Be carefifl to prevent
scalding when warming

tormula or breast milk.
The container may tcel

cooler than the milk
really is. Always test the

milk befi)re tceding
the baby.

• Don't deflost flozen
beverag'es ill llarrow-

necked bottles (especially
carbonated beverages).

Even if the container is

opened, pressure can

build up. Tiffs can cause
the container to burst,

possibly resulting in
ii/jury.

• Hot toods and steam
can cause burns. Be

careflfl wl-len opening
any containers of l-lot

food, including popcorn
l/ags, cooking pouches

and boxes. To prevent
possible iI/jUIT, direct

steam away fl'om hands

• Do not ovcrcook
potatoes. They could

dehydrate and catch

to your ()Veil.

• Cook meat and pouhry
thoroughly--meat to

at least an INTERNAL
