For best results, stir any liquid several times before heating or reheating. Liquids heated in certain containers (especially containers shaped like cylinders) 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.). This can harm the oven and possibly injure someone.
Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat containers, but heat from the food can make the container hot.
Do not overcook potatoes. Fire could result. At the end of the recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm because they will continue cooking during standing time.
After microwaving, wrap potatoes in foil and set aside for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.
