49 Use metalonly as directedin
Cookbook.Metal strips as used

on meat, roastsare helpful when
used as shown in Cookbook.

TV dinners may be cooked in

metal trays but when using shelf
they must be replaced in their
box. However, when using metal
in microwave oven, keepmetal

[otherthan metalshe!f)at least
l-inch awayfromsidesof oven.

64 Cooking utensilsmay
becomehot becauseof heat

transferred from the heated
food, This is especially true if
plastic wrap has been covering
the top and handles of the
utensil. Potholders may be
needed to handle the utensil.

Be careful touching the floor
during and after cooking.

e Do

notuseany thermometer

in food you are microwaving
unless that thermometer is
designed or recommended for
use in the microwave oven.

* Remove

thetemperature
probefromtheovenwhennot
usingitto

cook with. if you leave
the probe insidethe ovenwithout
inserting it in food or liquid, and
turn on microwave energy, it can

create electrical arcing in the
oven, and damage oven walls.

* Plastic IJterMs-4%stic
utonsil$ designed

for microwave

cookingareveryuseful, but

should be used carefully, EikHi

microwave plastic may not be as
tolerant of overcooking com3i­ticmsas are glass or ceramic
materials and may soften or
char if subjected to short

periods

of

overcooking. In longer exp6-

sures to overcooking, the food

and utensils could ignite. For
these reasons: 1) Use rnicr’o­wave plastics only “and use
{hem” in strict compliance with
the utensil manufacturer’s

recommendations} 2) Da not
wbject empty Mcmsilsto micro­waving, 3) Do not permit children
to UW3plastic ukmsils without
complcto supervision.

@ 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 and out of
shell)isnot recommendedfor
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,
