short periods of overcooking. In
longer exposures to overcooking,
the food and cookware could
ignite, For these reasons: 1) Use
microwave-safe plastics

and
use them in strict compliance with
the cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations, 2) Do not
subject empty cookware to

present in the meat, it will be
killed
and meat will be safe to eat.
