To avoid the possibility of explosion and sudden
boiling:
WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be
heated in sealed containers since they are liable to
explode.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in
delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be
taken when handling the container.
Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and lids
before use. Sealed containers can explode due to a
build up of pressure even after the oven has been
turned off.
Take care when microwaving liquids. Use a wide
mouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.
Never heat liquids in narrow necked containers
such as baby bottles, as this may result in the
contents erupting from the container when heated
and cause burns.
To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and
possible scalding:
1. Do not use excessive amount of time.
2. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
3. It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar utensil
(not metal) into the liquid whilst reheating.
4. Let liquid stand for at least 20 seconds in the oven at
EN – 8
EN – 8
the end of cooking time to prevent delayed eruptive
boiling.
Do not cook eggs in their shells, and whole hard
boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave
ovens since they may explode even after
microwave cooking has ended. To cook or reheat
eggs which have not been scrambled or mixed,
pierce the yolks and the whites, or the eggs may
explode. Shell and slice hard boiled eggs before
reheating them in the microwave oven.
Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages and
fruit before cooking, or they may explode.
To avoid the possibility of burns.
WARNING: The contents of feeding bottles and
baby food jars must be stirred or shaken and the
temperature checked before consumption, in
order to avoid burns.
Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing
food from the oven to prevent burns.
Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven
cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands to
avoid steam burns and eruption of boiling.
To avoid burns, always test food temperature and
stir before serving and pay special attention to the
temperature of food and drink given to babies,
children or the elderly. Accessible parts may become
hot during use. Young children should be kept away.
Temperature of the container is not a true indication of
