Instructions for operating a microwave oven
Only use thermometers recommen-
ded for use in microwave ovens to
measure the temperature of food-
stuffs in the oven.
Our instructions must be closely fol-
lowed when cooking pork. The meat
must be heated to at least 70 °C
so that any bacteria that may be
present will definitely be destroyed.
Frozen drinks contained in narrow-
necked bottles, especially carbonated
drinks, must not be defrosted in the
microwave oven. Pressure can form
even in open containers with the ef-
fect that the container may explode
and cause injuries.
Foodstuffs must not be overcooked.
If, for instance, potatoes are over-
cooked they can dry out and become
a fire risk.
Cooking of eggs (in or not in a shell)
in the microwave oven cannot be re-
commended. The pressure in the egg
yolk could cause the egg to explode
and cause injuries. Foodstuffs in skins, such as potatoes,
sausages, tomatoes, chicken livers
and other offal, eggs, etc., should be
pierced so that steam generated by
cooking can escape.
Microwaveable bags and sealed
plastic bags should be cut open or
pierced to prevent them exploding
during cooking and possibly causing
injuries. Plastic containers should
be opened at least a small amount.
After containers have been cooked
while they were sealed with plastic
foil, the cover must be removed in
such a way that escaping steam does
not come into contact with the hands
or face.
The microwave oven must not be
used to dry paper (newspapers).
They can catch fire if overheated.
Danger.
When liquids (water) are heated in the mi-
crowave oven, and especially reheated,
it can sometimes happen that the boil-
ing temperature has been reached but
the typical steam bubbles do not initially
form. The liquid does not boil uniformly.
When the container is removed (shaken)
this boiling delay, as it is called, can sud-
denly cause steam bubbles to form and
therefore start to boil over suddenly - risk
of scalding. To prevent this, it is neces-
sary to place a glass rod in the container,
for instance. The glass rod ensures that
fluid in the container boils uniformly and
therefore the steam bubbles form at the
usual time.
