Before You Start Cooking With Your Microwave - Baumatic BTM21SL User Instruction Manual

Before you Start Cooking with Your Microwave

You can reduce the chances of this happening further by
1. Avoiding using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
2. Not overheating.
3. Stirring the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again
halfway through the heating time.
4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring again
before carefully removing the container, using a cloth or
oven glove.
Likewise, if you are heating feeding bottles and baby food jars always
stir or shake them and then check the temperature before
you serve them, to avoid burns. Remember that babies
can be easily scalded!
If you are cooking bacon, do not place it directly on the
turntable as excessive heating may make the
turntable likely to break.
Bagged Popcorn – always read the manufacturer's guidelines before
Microwaving bagged popcorn.
Always pierce foods with non-porous skins to reduce the risk of
them bursting from inside steam build-up; eg: apples,
potatoes, chicken livers and egg yolks.
Be sure to make checks on your food during operation to avoid
burning and excessive cooking.
Always be careful when opening partially sealed containers –
there is the risk of steam escaping.
