Meat thermometer
Use a meat thermometer to
check the degree of cooking of
roasts and poultry only when the
meat has been removed from the
oven� Do not use a conventional
meat thermometer in the
microwave oven because it may
cause sparking�
Liquids
When heating liquids, e�g� soup,
sauces and beverages in your
microwave oven, overheating the
liquid beyond boiling point can
occur without evidence of
bubbling� This could result in a
sudden boil over of the hot liquid�
To prevent this possibility the
following steps should be taken:
a Avoid using straight-sided
containers with narrow necks�
b Do not overheat�
c Stir the liquid before placing
the container in the oven and
again halfway through the
cooking time�
d After heating, allow it to stand
in the oven for a short time, stir
again before carefully removing
the container�
Paper/plastic
When heating food in plastic or
paper containers, keep an eye on
the oven as these types of
containers ignite if overheated�
Do not use recycled paper
products (e�g� Kitchen Roll)
unless the paper product is
labelled as safe for microwave
oven use� Recycled paper
products may contain impurities
which may cause sparks and/or
fires during use�
Remove wire twist-ties from
roasting bags before placing the
bags in the oven�
Utensils/foil
Do not heat any closed cans or
bottles because they might
explode�
Metal containers or dishes with
metallic trim should not be used
during microwave cooking�
Sparking will occur�
If you use any aluminium foil,
meat spikes or metalware the
distance between them and the
oven walls and door should be at
least 2 cm to prevent sparking�
Feeding bottles/baby food jars
The top and teat or lid must be
removed from feeding bottles or
baby food jars before placing in
the oven�
The contents of feeding bottles
and baby food jars are to be
stirred or shaken�
The temperature has to be
checked before consumption to
avoid burns�
