Food Safety
2. Use only the specified bag size for direct
access popcorn.
3. Do not cook bacon directly on the turntable.
Excessive local heating of the turntable may
cause the turntable to break
4. Do not attempt home canning in the
microwave oven, as it is impossible to be
sure all contents of the jar have reached
boiling temperature.
5. To prevent delayed eruptive boiling of hot
liquids and beverages, or scalding yourself,
stir liquid before placing the container in the
oven and again halfway through cooking
time. Once finished cooking, let liquid stand
in oven for a short time and stir once more.
6. Some products Such as whole eggs and
sealed containers such as closed jars will
explode and should not be used in a
microwave oven.
7. Do not heat narrow-necked containers, such
as syrup bottles in your microwave oven,
pressure can build up and cause the
container to burst, possibly resulting in injury
8. Some products such as whole eggs, water
with oil or fat, sealed to explode and therefore
should not be heated in this oven.
9. Do not operate the microwave oven empty.
Operating the oven with no food or food that
is extremely low in moisture can cause fire,
charring or sparking.
10. Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even
with the lid off. Make sure all infant food is
thoroughly cooked. Stir food to distribute the
heat evenly. Be careful to prevent scalding
when warming formula. The container may
feel cooler than the formula really is. Always
test the formula before feeding the baby.
.
1. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able
to be overheated beyond the boiling point
without appearing to be boiling. Visible
bubbling or boiling when the container is
removed from the microwave oven is not
always present. This could result in very hot
liquids suddenly boiling over when the
container is disturbed or a spoon or other
utensil is inserted into the liquid.
i) Do not overheat the liquid.
ii) Stir the liquid both before and halfway
through heating it.
iii) Do not use straight-sided containers with
narrow necks. After heating, allow the
container to stand in the microwave oven for
a short time before removing the container.
iv) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or
other utensil into the container
