ABOUT FOODS
ABOUT SAFETY
Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture’s recommended temperatures.
160˚F - For fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white poultry, sh, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food.
165˚F - For leftovers, ready-to-reheat refrigerated; deli and carry-out “fresh” food.
170˚F - White meat of poultry.
180˚F - Dark meat of poultry.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a
thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave
the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is
approved for microwave use.
•
ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when
handling utensils that are in contact with hot food.
Enough heat from the food can transfer through
utensils to cause skin burns.
•
Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the
face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish’s
covering and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking
bags away from the face.
•
Stay near the Microwave In-A-Drawer
™
while it’s in use
and check cooking progress frequently so that there is
no chance of overcooking food.
•
NEVER use the Microwave In-A-Drawer
™
for storing
cookbooks or other items.
• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve
its high quality and minimize the spread of foodborne
bacteria.
•
Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause
arcing and/or fires. See page 15.
