There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is
heated. This means that the liquid reaches boiling
temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to
the surface. Even if the container only vibrates a little,
the hot liquid can suddenly boil over or spatter. There
is a risk of burning.
When heating liquids, always place a spoon in the
container. This will prevent delayed boiling.
Never heat drinks in containers that have been tightly
sealed. There is a risk of explosion.
Never overheat alcoholic drinks. There is a risk of
explosion.
Never heat baby food in closed containers. Always
remove the lid or teat.
Stir or shake well after the food has been heated. This
is the only way to ensure even heat distribution. There
is a risk of burning.
Check the temperature of the food before it is given to
the child.
Never cook eggs in their shells. Never reheat
hardĆboiled eggs as they may crack or explode. The
same applies to shellfish and crustaceans. There is a
risk of burning.
Always prick the yoke when frying or poaching eggs.
Always prick the skin of foodstuffs with peels or skins
such as apples, tomatoes, potatoes and sausages
before cooking to prevent the peel or skin from
bursting.
