WARNING : Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling
due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave
oven is not always present. this could result in very hot liquids suddenly boiling over when a spoon or other utensilis is
inserted into the liquid. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
a) Do not overheat the liquid.
b) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it
c) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
d) After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.
e) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
1. Eggs
Never cook eggs in their shells. Steam will build up inside the shell during cooking and the egg will explode. If you want to cook
or reheat eggs which have not been broken up by scrambling or mixing, you must always pierce the yolks or these will also
explode. You should slice shelled hard boiled eggs before you reheat them in your microwave oven.
2. Piercing
Always pierce food which has a skin or membrane, for example, potatoes, tomatoes, apples, sausages etc. If you don't pierce
them, steam will build up inside and they may explode.
3. Lids
Always remove the lids of jars and containers and take away food containers, before you cook using your microwave oven.
If you don't, then steam and pressure might build up inside and cause an explosion even aer the microwave cooking has
stopped.
