use of the microwave oven could result in
injury.
Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven.
Pressure will build up inside egg yolk and
will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in
injury.
Operating the microwave with no food
inside for more than a minute or two may
cause damage to the oven and could
start a fire. It increases the heat around
the magnetron and can shorten the life of
the oven.
Foods with unbroken outer "skin" such as
potatoes, hot dogs, sausages, tomatoes,
apples, chicken livers and other giblets
and egg yolks should be pierced to allow
steam to escape
during cooking.
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.
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.
