Preserving Precautions

Do not use your oven for home canning or the heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up and the jar may explode. In addition, the microwave oven cannot maintain the food at the correct canning temperature. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.

Jars and Bottles

Jars and bottles can be used to warm food to serving temperature. If the lid is removed first. Cooking should not be done in these containers since most are not heat resistant and during extended heating times, heat from food would cause cracking or breaking.

Thermometers are available for use in microwave ovens. DO NOT USE CONVENTIONAL MERCURY TYPE CANDY OR MEAT THERMOMETERS in food while cooking in the microwave oven.

Alternatively, a conventional meat thermometer may be used after the food is removed from the oven.

Jam jars can be sterilized by microwave ready for your jams. Half fill with water and heat them on HIGH power until water boils (approx.3 mins, for 2 jars). Empty and drain upside down on kitchen paper. The jars should be warm when filled with jam.
