1Do not use your microwave oven for the following :
∙to boil eggs or escargots in their shells, as they will burst. Eggs can be poached or «fried» in a microwave oven as long as the yolks are pricked.
∙to heat large quantities of cooking oil (fondue or deep frying) and drinks containing a high percentage of alcohol - there is danger of spontaneous combustion!
∙to heat unopened cans, bottles, etc.
∙to dry animals, textiles or paper.
∙for crockery like porcelain, ceramics, or porous earthenware (e.g. on the handles or unglazed bases) that can fill up with water. This can cause vapour pressure to build up during cooking which could shatter the dish.
