Stir before heating
For best results, stir any liquid several times before heating or reheating.
Liquids heated in certain containers (espe- cially cylindrical containers) may become overheated. The liquid may splash out with a loud noise during or after heating or when adding ingredients (coffee granules, tea bags, etc.) resulting in harm to the oven and possible personal injury.
