• Avoid heating baby food in
glass jars, even with the lid off.
Make sure all infant food is thor-
oughly cooked. Stir food to dis-
tribute the heat evenly. Be care-
ful to prevent scalding when
warming formula. The container
may feel cooler than the milk
really is. Always test the milk
before feeding the baby.
• Spontaneous boiling-Under
certain special circumstances,
liquids may start to boil during
or shortly after removal from the
microwave oven.
To prevent
burns from splashing liquid, we
recommend the following:
before removing the container
from the oven, allow the con-
tainer to stand in the oven for 30
to 40 seconds after the oven has
shut off. Do not boil liquids in
narrow-necked containers such
as soft drink bottles, wine flasks
and especially narrow-necked
coffee cups. Even if the contain-
er is opened, excessive steam
can build up and cause it to burst
or overflow.
• Don’t defrost frozen beverages
in narrow-necked bottles (espe-
cially carbonated beverages).
Even if the container is opened,
pressure can build up. This can
cause the container to burst, pos-
sibly resulting in injury.
• Hot foods and steam can cause
burns. Be careful when opening
any containers of hot food,
including popcorn bags, cooking
pouches and boxes.
To prevent
possible injury, direct steam
away from hands and face.
• Do not overcook potatoes.
They could dehydrate and catch
fire, causing damage to your
oven.
• Cook meat and poultry thor-
oughly-meat to at least an
INTERNAL temperature of
160 F (71.1C). and poultry to at
least an INTERNAL temperature
of 180 F (82.2C). Cooking to
these temperatures usually
protects against food borne
illness.
SAFETY
FACT
SUPERHEATED WATER
Microwaved water and
other liquids do not
always bubble when they
reach the boiling point.
They can actually get
superheated and not
bubble at all.
Superheated liquid can
bubble up when it is
moved or when some-
thing like a spoon or tea
bag is put into it.
To prevent this from
happening and causing
injury, do not heat any
liquid for more than 2
minutes per cup. After
heating, let the cup stand
in the microwave for 30
seconds before moving it
or putting anything into it.
