Microwave cooking guidelines
o
If you are heating liquid in the
microwave, then you must also place
a teaspoon in the container. This will
ensure that the liquid does not boil
suddenly after being removed from
the microwave cavity.
o
This phenomenon is called “delayed boiling”, this means that a
liquid can be close to boiling point, even if there is no steam coming
off the liquid or the liquid is not bubbling. If the liquid container is
even gently shaken, then the liquid can without warning boil over or
even spurt. This could scald the end user.
o
Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers as
they are liable to explode.
o
If the food you are cooking has a skin or peel (e.g. sausages,
tomatoes, potatoes etc), then you should pierce the skin with a fork
or peel. This will ensure that if steam is created during the heating
process, it can escape and the food will not burst.
o
When heating baby food, the bottle or jar containing the food
should NEVER have a top or lid on. After cooking, to ensure that
the food has been heated uniformly, you should stir or shake the
food. IMPORTANT: You must check the temperature of the
food before feeding it to a child.
o
When heating food in a microwave, it will transmit the heat to the
container that the food is in or on. You should ALWAYS use oven
gloves when removing items from the microwave.
o
You should make sure that you do not cook food for too long or at
too high a power level. This could cause certain areas of the food to
dry out or even ignite.
o
You should not use ceramic or porcelain crockery, or porous
earthenware inside of your microwave. These dishes could absorb
moisture from the food whilst it is cooking, which could cause
pressure to build up and shatter the dish.
o
If you are heating certain foods and any liquid, moisture will
evaporate and condensation may occur. This does not indicate that
the appliance is faulty and it can be particularly noticeable if the
ambient temperature of the room is high.
o
IMPORTANT: Any condensation should be wiped up with a soft
cloth as soon as you have finished using the microwave.
