ARCING

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the

oven. Arcing is caused by:

■Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

■Foil not molded to food (upturned edges

act like antennas).

■Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or

gold-rimmed dishes, in the microwave.

■Recycled paper towels containing small

metal pieces being used in the microwave.

■Plastic cookware—Plastic cookware

designed for microwave cooking is very

useful, but should be used carefully.

Even microwave-safe plastic may not

be as tolerant of over-cooking conditions

as are glass or ceramic materials and

may soften or char if subjected to short

periods of over-cooking. In longer

exposures to over-cooking, the food

and cookware could ignite.

■

Follow these guidelines:

■Use microwave-safe plastics only and

use them in strict compliance with the

cookware manufacturer’s

recommendations.

■Do not microwave empty containers.

■Do not permit children to use

plastic cookware without complete

supervision.

Microwaved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach the boiling point.

They can actually get super heated and not bubble at all.

Super heated liquid will bubble up out of the

cup 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.

Spontaneous boiling

Under certain special 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.
