18.Superheated Liquids
Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without showing evi- dence (or signs) of boiling. Visible bubbling is not always present when the container is removed from the microwave oven. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CON-

(b)DO NOT heat water and oil, or fats together. The film of oil will trap steam, and may cause a violent eruption.
(c)DO NOT use
(d)After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.
19.DO NOT cook directly on the turntable. It can crack, cause injury or damage to the oven.
