Metal containers and containers with metallic trim
should not be used in the microwave oven, unless
specifically recommended for microwave use.
Containers with restricted openings, such as bottles,
should not be used for microwave cooking.

to avoid steam burns.
Foil containers
Shallow foil containers may safely be used to reheat
foods in your microwave oven providing the fol-
lowing rules are observed:
1. Foil containers should not be more than 3 cm (1 1/4)
deep.
2. Foil lids must not be used.
3. The foil containers must be at least two-thirds full of
food. Empty containers must never be used.
4. Foil containers should be used singly in the microwave
oven and should not be allowed to touch the sides. If
your oven has a metal turntable or cooking rack, the
foil container should be placed on an upturned oven-
proof plate.
5. Foil containers should never be re-used in the
microwave oven.
6. If the microwave oven has been in use for
15 minutes or more, allow it to cool before using it
again.
7. The container and turntable may become hot during
use, take great care when removing either from the
oven. It is advisable to use an oven cloth or glove
when doing so.
8. Remember when using an aluminium foil container
that the reheating or cooking times may be longer
than you are used to, always ensure that the food is
piping hot before serving.
Food safety
Do not heat food in a can in the microwave oven.
Always remove the food to a suitable container.
Deep fat frying should not be done in the microwave
oven, because the fat temperature cannot be con-
trolled, hazardous situations can result.
Popcorn may be prepared in the microwave oven,
but only in special packages or utensils designed
specifically for this purpose. This cooking opera-
tion should never be unattended.
Pierce foods with non-porous skins or membranes to
prevent steam build-up and bursting. Apples, pota-
toes, chicken livers, and egg yolks are examples of
items that should be pierced.
The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are
to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be
checked before consumption, in order to avoid
burns.
When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and
beverages in your microwave oven, overheating
the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without
evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sud-
den boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent this
possibility the following steps should be taken:
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow
necks.
2. Do not overheat.
3. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the
oven and again halfway through the heating time.
4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short
time, stirring again before carefully removing the
container.
Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers for example, closed glass jars
may explode and should not be heated in this
oven. Occasionally, poached eggs may explode
during cooking. Always pierce the yolk, then
cover and allow standing time of one minute
before removing cover.
