When preparing/cooking food/liquid remember that there are
certain foods, e.g. Christmas puddings, jam and mincemeat, which
heat up very quickly.
•
When heating or cooking foods with a high fat or sugar content do
not use plastic containers.
•
Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred from
the food. This is especially true if plastic wrap has been covering
the top and handles of the utensils. Oven gloves may be needed to
handle the utensils.
•
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
•
Do not overcook food.
•
Watch the microwave oven carefully if paper, plastic, or
other combustible materials are used inside the oven during
cooking.
