- Crockery with metal trims
- Meat thermometer
• Never use equipment made of metal, except aluminium foil in your microwave. The microwave energy cannot pass through metal so it bounces off and sparks against the inside of the microwave.
• Stop the microwave straight away if any equipment is causing sparks.
• Remember that some crockery has a metal trim around the edge. Even this trim can cause sparks.
containers warning : Pressure will build up in sealed containers and can
cause them to explode. Therefore, do not use the following in your microwave:
- Sealed containers - Capped bottles - Vacuum containers
- Sealed jars - Hard-boiled eggs - Eggs in their shells
• Always pierce the skin of fruit and vegetables, such as potatoes.
• Never use scratched, cracked or damaged glass in a microwave. Damaged glass can explode.
• Caution should be used when using combustible containers, never leave the microwave unattended when in use.
delayed boiling
Liquids heated in a microwave continue to cook after the cooking time has elapsed. Caution is to be used when removing hot liquids from the microwave.
Take the following precautions:
• Always stir liquids, before and after cooking.
• Allow them to stand.
• Use containers that are wider at the top than at the bottom.
preparing food for babies
Extra care must be taken when preparing food or drink for babies and small children.
• Always test the food or liquid temperature before feeding it to the baby.
• When using a baby bottle, ensure the teat is removed before heating.
• When warming baby food or milk ensure the food is thoroughly stirred and at a safe consumable temperature.
