Important Information
Liquids
When heating liquids, e.g. soup,
sauces and beverages in your
microwave oven, overheating the
liquid beyond boiling point can
occur without evidence of bubbling.
This could result in a sudden boil
over of the hot liquid. To prevent this
possibility the following steps should
be taken:
Avoid using straight-sided
containers with narrow necks.
Do not overheat.
Stir the liquid before placing the
container in the oven and again
halfway through the heating time.
After heating, allow to stand in
the oven for a short time, stirring
again before carefully removing
the container.
Microwave heating of beverages
can result in delayed eruptive
boiling, therefore care should be
taken when handling the container.
Lids
Always remove the lids of jars and
containers and takeaway food
containers before you microwave
them. If you don’t then steam and
pressure might build up inside and
cause an explosion even after the
microwave cooking has stopped.
Deep Fat Frying
Do not attempt to deep fat fry in
your oven.
Meat Thermometer
Use a meat thermometer to check
the degree of cooking of roasts and
poultry only when meat has been
removed from the microwave. If
undercooked, return to the oven
and cook for a few more minutes
at the recommended power level.
Do not leave a conventional meat
thermometer in the oven when
microwaving.
Boiled Eggs
Eggs in their shell and whole
hardboiled eggs should not be
heated in microwave ovens since
they may explode even after
microwave heating has ended.
Foods with Skins
Potatoes, apples, egg yolk, whole
vegetables and sausages are
examples of food with non porous
skins. These must be pierced using
a fork before cooking to prevent
bursting.
Liquids and other foods must not
be heated in sealed containers
since they are liable to explode.
