· Baby food in jars or bottles should always be heated without a
lid or top, and stirred after heating, to ensure uniform
distribution of the heat. Always check the temperature
before feeding your child.
· The hot food in a microwave oven will heat up the ovenware.
For this reason always use oven gloves for handling hot dishes.
· Never cook your food for too long or at too high a power
setting. Some areas of the food can dry out or even ignite.
· Do not use porcelain or ceramic crockery, or porous
earthenware (e.g. on the handles or unglazed bases) in your
microwave as these types of dishes can absorb moisture from
the food as it is cooking. This can cause vapour pressure to
build up which could shatter the dish.
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 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.
