Liquids and other foods should not be heated in
sealed containers because they may explode. It
is recommended that you avoid heating eggs in
their shells and whole hard-boiled eggs in the
microwave oven because they run the risk of
explosion, even after cooking is complete.

cause sudden and/or delayed splattering of boiling
liquid, so precautions must be taken when
handling their containers.

croissant, etc.) place a glass of water next to the
food. Excessive cooking times may dry out foods
and burn them. To avoid such incidents, never
use the same times recommended for cooking in
a traditional oven.
If smoke appears, stop or unplug the oven and
leave the door closed to smother any flames that
may appear.
