• SAFETY FACT
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.
• 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 foodborne
illness.
