products such as
whole
eggs and sealed containers-for
example, closed glass jars—may
explode
and
should not
be
heated
in this
oven,
*
Avoid heating baby food
in
glass jars, even without their lids;
especially meat and egg mixtures.
.
Don’t
defrost frozen
beverageS
in
narrow
n=ked
bottles (especially
carbonated beverages). Even if the
container is opened, pressure
can build up. This can cause the
container to burst, resulting in
injury.
*
Use
metal
only as directed in
cooking
guide,
TV dinners maybe microwaved
in foil trays less than 3/4” high;
remove top
foil
cover and return
tray
to box. When using
metal
in
the microwave oven,
keep
metal
at least
1 inch away from sides
of
oven.
. Cooking utensils may become
hot
because of heat transferred
from the heated food.
Pot
holders
may be needed to handle
the
utensil.
●
Sometimes, the cooking tray
can become too hot to
touch.
Be
careful handling the cooking
tray
during and
afier
cooking.
●
FOO&
cooked
in
liquids
(such
as pasta) may tend to
boil
over
more rapidly than
fds
containing
less moisture. Should this occur,
refer to page 26 for instructions on
how to clean the inside of the oven.
● Thermometer—Do not
use a thermometer in food you
are microwaving unless the
thermometer is designed or
recommended for use in the
microwave oven.
●
Plastic
utensik-Plastic
utensils
designed for microwave cooking
are very useful, but should be
used carefully. Even microwave
plastic may not be as tolerant of
overcooking conditions as are
@ass
or ceramic materials and may
sofien
or char if subjected to short
periods of overcooking. In longer
exposures to overcooking, the
fd
and utensils
could
ignite. For
these reasons:
1) Use
microwave
plastics ody and use them in
strict
compliance with the utensil
manufacturer’s recommendations.
2)
Do
not subject empty
utensfls
to
microwaving. 3) Do not permit
children to use plastic utensils
without complete supervision.
*
When
cooking pork
follow
the
directions exactly and always
cook
the
meat to an
internal
temperature of at least
170°F.
This assures that, in the remote
possibility that trichina may be
present
in
the
meat, it will be
kdled
and meat
will
be safe to eat.
●
wiling
eggs is not
recommended
in
a microwave
oven,
Pressure can build up
inside the egg yolk and may
cause
it to burst, resulting in injury.
*
Foods with unbroken
outer
‘%kin”
such as potatoes, sausages,
tomatoes, apples,
chick~n
livers
and other giblets, and egg
yolks
(see previous caution) should

~~Boi]able”
cooking pouches
and tightly closed plastic bags
should
be
slit, pierced or vented
as directed in cooking guide.
If
-
they are not, plastic could burst
during or immediately after
cooking, possibly resulting in
injury. Also, plastic storage
containers should beat 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.
*
Spontaneous
boilimg—Under
certain special circumstances,
liquids may start to boil during or
shortly after removal from the
