box. However, when using metal
in microwave oven, keep
metal

Plastic
U tensils-Plastic
utensilsdesignedfor microwave
cooking are very useful,but
should be used carefully. Even
microwaveplastic may not be as
tolerant of overcooking ccmdi-
tions as are glass or ceramic
materialsand may softenor
char if subjectedto short periods
of overcooking. In longer expo-
suresto overcooking,the food
and utensilscould ignite, For
these reasons:1) Use microw-
ave
plzWiCSonly "and
use
them" in strict compliancewith
the utw?silmanufacturer's
recx3mmenc#aticms.
2) Do not
subject empty utensils to micro-
waving.3) Do not permit children
to use plastic utensils without
completesupervision.
e Whencooking
pork
follow
our directions exactly and
always cook the meat to at least
170°.
This assuresthat, in the
remotepossibilitythat trichina
may be presentin the meat,it
will be killed and meatwill be
safeto eat.
e
Boilingeggs (in and out of
shell) is not recommendedfor
microwave
cooking. Pressure
can build up insideegg yolk and
may causeit to burst,resulting
in injury.
Q
Foodswith unbrokenouter
"skin"
such as potatoes,hot
dogs or sausages, t omatoes,
apples,chicken liversand other
giblets,and eggs (seeabove)
should be piercedto allow
steamto escapeduring cooking.
o
"Boilable"cooking
pouches
andtightlyclosedplastic bags
should be slit, piercedor vented
as directed in Cookbook. If they
are not, plastic could burst dur-
ing or immediatelyaftercooking,
possibly resulting in injury. Also,
