Liquids in baby bottles: 1. Remove the inner cap and teat before putting the bottle in the microwave oven. 2. When cooking is finished, check the liquid temperature. Do not serve without doing this. 3. Shake before serving to distribute the heat evenly, avoiding risk of burning.
To improve cooking or defrosting results and to enable an even temperature distribution in the food, when cooking calculate the standing time. * Remember that in a microwave oven food continues to cook even when the microwaves are turned off. It is no longer cooked by the emission of microwaves but by the conduction of the high residual heat in the food.
