of
overcooking. In longer exp6-
sures to overcooking, the food
and utensils could ignite. For

in injury,
a Foods with unbroken outer
"skin"
such as potatoes, hot
dogs or sausages, tomatoes,
apples, chicken livers and other
giblets, and eggs (see above)
should be pierced to allow
steam to escape during cooking.

should be slit, pierced or vented
as directed in Cookbook. If they
are not, plastic could burst dur-
ing or immediately after cooking,
possibly resulting in injury. Also,
plastic storage containers should
beat least partially uncovered
because they form a tight seal,
When cooking with containers
tightly covered with plastic wrap,
remove covering carefully and
