CAUTIONS WHEN MICROWAVING FOOD
TO AVOID EXPLOSION AND SUDDEN BOILING
Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are liable to overheat
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 utensil 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.
MICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDE
Utensils and cooking containers designed for microwave use are made of materials that do not act as a barrier to microwave
energy. Generally this means that you should cook in either paper, plastic, glass or ceramic. Metal pans reflect microwave energy
and inhibit cooking, and should not be used. In addition to material, the shape of the container should also be considered. Round
oval shapes give the most even cooking. Square or rectangular containers may overcook foods in the corners because more
energy is absorbed there. Shallow containers offer more even cooking results.
CAUTION: Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. To avoid discolorization of your
oven, make sure that food, dishes and accessories or coverings do not come in direct contact with any of
the internal walls or the ceiling of the oven cavity.

1. Without metal parts or metal trims.
2. Some plastics are heat-proof only to certain
temperatures. Check carefully!
3. It is possible to use aluminum foil to shield delicate
areas of food to prevent over-cooking.
4. Metal tins can be used in combination cooking modes,
however if the tins are very deep, they will greatly
reduce the efficiency, as metal shields the microwave
energy from the food.

1. Eggs
Never cook eggs in their shells. Steam will build up inside
the shell during cooking and the egg will explode.
When cooking or reheating eggs which have not been
broken by scrambling or mixing, always pierce the yolks
as these will also explode. Remove the shell and slice
hard boiled eggs before reheating in the microwave oven.
2. Piercing
Always pierce food which has a skin or membrane, for
example, potatoes, tomatoes, apples, sausage 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 after
the microwave cooking has stopped.
Utensils made of china and ceramic are excellent for use in
your microwave oven. Most types of glass are also
acceptable.
Lead crystal glass can crack and should not be used.
Plastics and paper can also be used, provided they can
withstand the temperature of the heated food. For cooking
only use plastics which will withstand a temperature of over
250˚F, e.g. polypropylene and polyamide. Some plastic
materials, e.g. melamine, will be heated by the microwave,
and be damaged. To find out if a certain container is
suitable, the following simple test can be made:
Place the empty container and a glass of water inside the
microwave oven. The water is needed because the oven
must not be operated empty or with empty containers only.
Run the microwave on full power for one minute. A suitable
container will only be lukewarm.
Metal containers like saucepans or frying pans should not be
used in microwave ovens. Plates or vessels with decorations
should not be used, since metal e.g. gold, might be part of
the decoration and will be damaged.
Small pieces of aluminum foil can be used for shielding the
areas that may over-cook (e.g. for covering chicken wings,
leg tips and fish tails) but the foil must not touch the side of
the oven as damage may occur.
