Arcing is the microwave term
for sparks in the oven. Arcing
is caused by:
■ Metal or foil touching the
side of the oven.
■ Foil not molded to food
(upturned edges act like
antennas).
■ Metal, such as twist-ties,
poultry pins, or gold-rimmed
dishes, in the microwave.
■ Recycled paper towels
containing small metal pieces
being used in the microwave.
■ Do not pop popcorn in your
microwave oven unless in a
special microwave popcorn
accessory or unless you use
popcorn labeled for use in
microwave ovens.
■ Some products such as
whole eggs and sealed
containers—for example,
closed jars—are able to
explode and should not be
heated in this microwave
oven. Such use of the
microwave oven could
result in injury.
■ Do not boil eggs in a
microwave oven. Pressure
will build up inside egg yolk
and will cause it to burst,
possibly resulting in injury.
■ Operating the microwave
with no food inside for more
than a minute or two may
cause damage to the oven
and could start a fire.
It increases the heat around
the magnetron and can
shorten the life of the oven.
■ Foods with unbroken outer
“skin” such as potatoes, hot
dogs, sausages, tomatoes,
apples, chicken livers and
other giblets, and egg yolks
should be pierced to allow
steam to escape during
cooking.
