SAFETY
FACT
SUPERHEATED WATER
Liquids, such as water,
coffee or tea, are able to
be overheated beyond
the boiling point without
appearing to be boiling.
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 THE
CONTAINER IS DISTURBED
OR A SPOON OR OTHER
UTENSIL IS INSERTED
INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury
to persons:
— Do not overheat the
liquid.
— Stir the liquid both
before and halfway
through heating it.
— Do not use straight-
sided containers with
narrow necks.
— After heating, allow the
container to stand in
the microwave oven
for a short time before
removing the container.
— Use extreme care when
inserting a spoon or
other utensil into the
container.
• Avoid heating baby food
in glass jars, even with
the lid off. Make sure all
infant food is thoroughly
cooked. Stir food to
distribute the heat evenly.
Be careful to prevent
scalding when warming
formula or breast milk.
The container may feel
cooler than the milk
really is. Always test the
milk before feeding
the baby.
• Don’t defrost frozen
beverages in narrow-
necked bottles (especially
carbonated beverages).
Even if the container is
opened, pressure can
build up. This can cause
the container to burst,
possibly resulting in
injury.
• Hot foods and steam
can cause burns. Be
careful when opening
any containers of hot
food, including popcorn
bags, cooking pouches
and boxes. To prevent
possible injury, direct
steam away from hands
and face.
• Do not overcook
potatoes. They could
dehydrate and catch
fire, causing damage
to your oven.
• Cook meat and poultry
thoroughly—meat to
at least an INTERNAL
temperature of 160°F
and poultry to at least an
INTERNAL temperature
of 180°F. Cooking to
these temperatures
usually protects against
foodborne illness.
