2. Cooking utensilsmay become hot because of
heat transferred from the heatedfood. This is espe­cially true if plastic wrap has been covering the top
and handles of the utensil. Pot holders may be
needed.

4 ~$Bo~lable’*~~~~i~g pouchesand tightly closed
p~asticbags+should be slit, pricked or vented as di-

rected 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 becausethey
form a tight seal. When cooking with containers
tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering
carefully and direct steam away from hands and
face.

5. Ronstdefrostfrozenbeveragesin narrow necked
bottles especially carbonated ones, Even if the con­tainer is opened, pressure can build up. This can

6. Don’t overcook. Excessiveovercooking ctehy-

andturn on microwaveenergy,it cancreateelectrical
arcing in the oven,and damageoven walls or shelf.

unlessin a special microwavepopcorn accessoryor
unless you use popcorn in a package labeled for
microwave ovens. Because of the heat generated,
without theseprecautions,the container could catch
fire,

12. Use metai oniy as directedin cookbook.Metal

strips as usedon meat roasts are helpful in cooking
food when usedasdirected. Metaltrays maybe used
for TV dinners. However, when using metal in the

microwave oven, keep metai at ieast l-inch away

fromsidesofmicrowaveoven.

13, Do not use any thermometerin food you are –

microwavingunlessthat thermometeris designed or

recommendedfor usein the microwaveoven.

14. Do not store fiammabiematerialsin an oven.

Also, do not use flammable fluids in the vicinity of

15. Do not use yourmicrowaveovento dry news-

papers.If overheated,they cancatch fire.

16, Piastic IJtensiis-Plastic utensils designed for
microwave cooking are very useful, but should be
usedcarefully.Evenmicrowaveplastic maynot be as

tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or

ceramic materials and may soften or char if sub-

jectedto short periods of overcooking, In longer ex-

posures to overcooking, the food and utensils may
even ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use microwave
plasticsonly and use them in strict compliance with
the utensil manufacturer’s recommendations.2) Do
not subject empty utensilsto microwaving.3) Do not
permit children to use plastic utensils without com­pletesupervision.

17. Don’toperatethe oven whileemptyin order to
prolong the life of the oven and save energy, If, by

accident,theovenshould run empty a minuteor two,
noharmisdone.

18. Whencooking pork either convemtiormiiyor in

the microwave oven, follow our directions exactly

and aiways cook the meat to at least 17W. This

assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina

may bepresent in the meat,it will be killed and meat

will besafeto eat.
