1∙ When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid - with the risk of scalding the user.
To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken:
1.Avoid using
2.Do not overheat.
3.Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time.
4.After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container.
∙Food with «skin» or «peel», such as potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, and the like, should be pierced with a fork so that any steam present can escape and the food will not burst.
∙Make sure that a minimum temperature of 70°C is attained for the cooking/heating of food. Never use a mercury or liquid thermometer for measuring the temperature of the food.
∙Baby food in jars or bottles should always be heated without a lid or top, and well stirred or shaken after heating, to ensure uniform distribution of the heat. Always check the temperature before feeding your child.
∙The hot food in a microwave oven will heat up the ovenware. For this reason always use oven gloves for handling hot dishes.
∙Never cook your food for too long or at too high a power setting. Some areas of the food can dry out or even ignite.
