Never cook or reheat a whole egg. Steam build-up in whole eggs may cause them to burst and burn you, and possibly damage the oven. Slice hard-boiled eggs before heating. In rare instances, poached eggs have been known to explode. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time of one minute before cutting into them.
For best results stir any liquid several times before heating or reheating. Liquids heated in certain containers (especially cylindrical-shaped containers) may become overheated. The liquid may splash out with a loud noise during or after heating or when adding ingredients (coffee, etc.) resulting in harm to the oven and possible personal injury.
Never lean on the door or allow a child to swing on it when the door is open. Injury could result.
Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat containers, but the hot food does.
