● Foods with unbroken outer
“skin” such as potatoes,
sausages, tomatoes, apples,
chicken livers and other giblets,
and egg yolks (see previous
caution) should be pierced to
allow steam to escape during
cooking.
c
Not all plastic wrap is
suitable for use in microwave
ovens. Check the package for
proper use.
● Spontaneous boiling—Under
certain special circumstances,
liquids may start to boil during
or shortly after removal from
the microwave oven. To prevent
burns from splashing liquid,
stir the liquid
briefly before
removing the container from the
microwave oven.
●
~~BoilableJ>
cooking pouches
and tightly closed plastic bags
should be slit, pierced or vented
as directed by package. 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 because
they form a tight seal. When
cooking with containers tightly
covered with plastic wrap,
remove covering carefully and
direct steam away from hands
and face.
● Hot foods and steam can
cause burns. Be careful when
opening any containers of hot
food, including popcorn bags,
cooking pouches and boxes.
To prevent possible injury,
direct steam away from hands
and face.
● Use of the DOUBLE
DUTYTM
Shelf accessory.
—Remove the shelf from oven
when not in use.
—Do not store or cook with shelf
on floor of oven. Product damage
may result.
—Use pot holders when handling
the shelf and cookware. They may
be hot.
—Do not use microwave browning
dish on shelf. The shelf could
overheat.
—Be sure that the shelf is
positioned properly inside the
oven to prevent product damage.
