Do not use your microwave oven for the
following :
· to boil eggs or escargots in their shells, as they
will burst. Eggs can be poached or «fried» in a
microwave oven as long as the yolks are pricked.
· to heat large quantities of cooking oil (fondue or
deep frying) and drinks containing a high
percentage of alcohol - there is danger of
spontaneous combustion!
· to heat unopened cans, bottles, etc.
· to dry animals, textiles or paper.
· for crockery like porcelain, ceramics, or porous
earthenware (e.g. on the handles or unglazed
bases) that can fill up with water. This can cause
vapour pressure to build up during cooking which
could shatter the dish.
