SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR GENERAL USE
8
Therefore, even though the lid of a container is not
hot to the touch when removed from the oven, please
remember that the food/liquid inside will be releasing
the same amount of steam and/or spitting when the lid
is removed as in conventional cooking.
12. Always test the temperature of cooked food yourself
especially if you are heating or cooking food/liquid for
babies. It is advisable never to consume food/liquid
straight from the oven but allow it to stand for a few
minutes and stir food/liquid to distribute heat evenly.
13. Food containing a mixture of fat and water,
e.g.stock,should stand for 30-60 seconds in the oven
after it has been turned o . This is to allow the mixture
to settle and to prevent bubbling when a spoon is
placed in the food/liquid or a stock cube is added.
14. When preparing/cooking food/liquid and remember
that there are certain foods, e.g. Christmas puddings,
jam and mincemeat, which heat up very quickly. When
heating or cooking foods with a high fat or sugar
content do not use plastic containers.
15. Cooking utensil may become hot because of heat
transferred from the heated food. This is especially true
if plastic wrap has been covering the top and handles
of the utensil. Potholders may be needed to handle the
utensil.
16. To reduce the risk of fi re in the oven cavity:
a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend microwave
oven if paper, plastic, or other combustible materials
are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
b) Remove wire twist-ties from bags before placing
bag in oven.
