About Children and the
Microwave
●
Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave
oven with a supervising person closely with them.
Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person
should be in the same room.
●
The children must be able to reach the oven comfortably;
if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy step stool.
●
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on
the oven door.
●
Children should be taught all safety precautions; use
potholders, remove coverings carefully and pay special
attention to packages that crisp food because they may
be extra hot.
●
Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one
cooking skill he/she can cook everything.
●
Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a
toy.
