can overheat beyond their boiling
point without any evidence of
bubbling. This could result in hot
liquids suddenly boiling over.
To prevent this occurrence, the
following steps should be taken:
(a) Avoid using straight-sided
containers with narrow necks.
(b) Do not overheat.
(c) Stir the liquid before placing
the container in the oven and
again halfway through the
heating time.
(d) After heating, allow to stand in
the oven for a short time,
stirring again before carefully
removing the container.
