Spontaneous boiling—Under cer-
tain special circumstances, liquids
may start to boil during or shortly
after removal from the microwave
oven. To prevent burns from
splashing liquid, we recommend
the following: before removing the
container from the oven, allow the
container to stand in the oven for
30 to 40 seconds after the oven has
shut off. Do not boil liquids in nar-
row-necked containers such as soft
drink bottles, wine flasks and espe-
cially narrow-necked coffee cups.
Even if the container is opened,
excessive steam can build up and
cause it to burst or overflow.

•

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 result-
ing 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.

•

When cooking pork, follow the
directions exactly and always
cook the meat to an internal tem-
perature of at least 170°F. This
assures that, in the remote possi-
bility that trichina may be present
in the meat, it will be killed and
meat will be safe to eat.

SAFETY FACT

SUPERHEATED WATER

Microwaved water and 
other liquids do not always
bubble when they reach 
the boiling point. They can
actually get superheated
and not bubble at all.

Superheated liquid will 
bubble up out of the cup 
when it is moved or when
something like a spoon or 
tea bag is put into it.

To prevent this from 
happening and causing
injury, do not heat any 
liquid for more than 2 
minutes per cup. After 
heating, let the cup stand 
in the microwave for 30
seconds before moving it 
or putting anything into it.
