• Avoid heating baby food in
glass jars, even with the lid
off.Make sure all infant food
is thoroughly cooked.Stir
food to distribute the heat
evenly.Be careful to prevent
scalding when warming
formula.The container may
feel cooler than the milk
really is.
Always test the milk
before feeding the baby.
• Spontaneous boiling-Under
certain circumstances,
liquids may start to boil
during or shortly after
removal from the microwave
oven.To prevent burns from
splashing liquid, we
recommend the following:
before removing the
container from the oven,
allow the container to
stand in the oven for 30 to
40 seconds after the oven
has shut off.Do not boil
liquids in narrow-necked
containers such as soft drink
bottles, wine flasks and
especially narrow-necked
coffee cups.Even if the
container is opened,
excessive steam can build
up and cause it to burst or
overflow.
• Don’t defrost frozen
beverages in narrow-necked
bottles (especially
carbonated beverages).Even
if the container is opened,
pressure can build up.This
can cause the container to
burst, possibly resulting in
injury.
• Hot foods and steam can
cause burns.Be careful
when opening any contain
ers of hot food, including
popcorn bags, cooking
pouches and boxes.To
prevent possible injury, direct
steam away from hands and
face.
• Do not overcook potatoes.
They could dehydrate and
catch fire, causing damage
to your oven.
• Cook meat and poultry
thoroughly-meat to at least
an INTERNAL temperature
of160 F (71.1C).and poultry
to at least an INTERNAL
temperature of 180 F
(82.2C).Cooking to these
temperatures usually
protects against food borne
illness.
SAFETY
FACT
SUPERHEATED WATER
Microwaved water and
other liquids do not
always bubble when they
reach the boiling point.
They can actually get
superheated and not
bubble at all.
Superheated liquid can
bubble up when it is
moved or when
something like a spoon or
tea bag is put into it.
To prevent this from
happening and causing
injury, do not heat any
liquid for more than 2
minutes per cup.After
heating, let the cup stand
in the microwave for 30
seconds before moving it
or putting anything into it.
