Microwave cooking guidelines
o If you are heating liquid in the microwave, then you must also
place a teaspoon in the container. This will ensure that the liquid
does not boil suddenly after being removed from the microwave
cavity.
o This phenomenon is called "delayed boiling", this means that a
liquid can be close to boiling point, even if there is no steam
coming off the liquid or the liquid is not bubbling. If the liquid
container is even gently shaken, then the liquid can without
warning boil over or even spurt. This could scald the end user.
o If the food you are cooking has a skin or peel (e.g. sausages,
tomatoes, potatoes etc), then you should pierce the skin or peel
with a fork. This will ensure that if steam is created during the
heating process, it can escape and the food will not burst.
o When heating baby food, the bottle or jar containing the food
should NEVER have a top or lid on. After cooking, to ensure that
the food has been heated uniformly, you should stir or shake the
food. IMPORTANT: You must check the temperature of the food
before feeding it to a child.
o When heating food in a microwave, it will transmit the heat to
the container that the food is in or on. You should ALWAYS use
oven gloves when removing items from the microwave.
o You should make sure that you do not cook food for too long or
at too high a power level. This could cause certain areas of the
food to dry out or even ignite.
