■ SUPERHEATED WATER
Liquids, such as water,
coffee, or tea, are able to be
overheated beyond the boiling
point without appearing to be
boiling. Visible bubbling or
boiling when the container is
removed from the microwave
oven is not always present.
THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY
HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY
BOILING OVER WHEN THE
CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR
A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL
IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury
to persons:
—Do not overheat the liquid.
—Stir the liquid both before
and halfway through
heating it.
—Do not use straight-sided
containers with narrow
necks.
—After heating, allow the
container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short
time before removing the
container.
—Use extreme care when
inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.
■ Avoid heating baby food in
glass jars, even with the lid
off. Make sure all infant food
is thoroughly cooked. Stir
food to distribute the heat
evenly. Be careful to prevent
scalding when warming
formula or breast milk. The
container may feel cooler
than the milk really is. Always
test the milk before feeding
the baby.
■ Don’t defrost frozen
beverages in narrow-
necked bottles (especially
carbonated beverages).
Even if the container is
opened, pressure can build
up. This can cause the
container to burst, possibly
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
thoroughly—meat to
at least an INTERNAL
temperature of 160°F
and poultry to at least an
INTERNAL temperature
of 180°F. Cooking to
these temperatures
usually protects against
food-borne illness.
