SAFETYFACT

SUPERHEATED WATER
Liquids, such as water,

coffee or tea, are able to
be overheated beyond
the boiling pohlt without
appearing to be hoi/ing.

Visible bubbling or boiling

INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

To red u(e the risk ol ill jut?.

How to test for a microwave

Safe dish.

• If you are not sure if

a dish is microwave-sale,
use this test: Place in the

1 cup of water--set the

measul:ing CUll either
in or next to the dish.

Microwave 30-45 seconds
