such as popcorn or poppodums.
Drying of food, newspapers or
clothing and heating of warming
pads, slippers, sponges, damp
cloth, wheat bags, hot water
bottles and similar may lead to
risk of injury, ignition or re.
Eggs
Do not cook eggs in their shells
and whole hard-boiled eggs by
MICROWAVE. Pressure may
build up and the eggs may
explode, even after the
microwave heating has ended.
Piercing skin
Food with non porous skins, such
as potatoes, egg yolks and
sausages must be pierced before
cooking by MICROWAVE to
prevent bursting.
Meat thermometer
Use a meat thermometer to
check the degree of cooking of
roasts and poultry only when the
meat has been removed from the
oven. Do not use a conventional
meat thermometer in the
microwave oven because it may
cause sparking.
When heating liquids, e.g. soup,
sauces and beverages in your
microwave oven, overheating the
liquid beyond boiling point can
occur without evidence of
bubbling. This could result in a
sudden boil over of the hot liquid.
To prevent this possibility the
following steps should be taken:
a Avoid using straight-sided
containers with narrow necks.
b Do not overheat.
c
Stir the liquid before placing the
container in the oven and again
halfway through the cooking time.
d After heating, allow it to stand
in the oven for a short time, stir
again before carefully removing
the container.
Paper/plastic
When heating food in plastic or
paper containers, keep an eye on
the oven as these types of
containers ignite if overheated.
Do not use recycled paper
products (e.g. Kitchen Roll)
unless the paper product is
labelled as safe for microwave
oven use. Recycled paper
products may contain impurities
which may cause sparks and/or
res during use.
Remove wire twist-ties from
roasting bags before placing the
bags in the oven.
Utensils/foil
Do not heat any closed cans or
bottles because they might
explode.
Metal containers or dishes with
metallic trim should not be used
during microwave cooking.
Sparking will occur.
If you use any aluminium foil,
meat spikes or metalware the
distance between them and the
oven walls and door should be at
least 2 cm to prevent sparking.
Feeding bottles/baby food jars
The top and teat or lid must be
removed from feeding bottles or
baby food jars before placing in
