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.

Avoid heating baby food in
glass jars, even with the lid off.
Make sure all infant food is
thoroughly cooked. Stir food
to distribute the heat evenly.
Be careful to prevent scalding
when warming formula. The
container may feel cooler than
the formula really is. Always
test the formula before
feeding the baby.

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.
I
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.
