Food
1.
DO NOT use your oven for home canning
or
the heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build
up and the jar may explode. In addition, the
microwave oven cannot maintain the food at the
proper canning temperature. Improperly canned
food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.
2. Small quantities of food or foods with low
moisture content can dry out, burn or catch on
fire when overheated. If a fire occurs, turn the
oven off and leave the oven door closed.
Disconnect the power cord or shut off the power
at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
3. Popcorn can be popped in a suitable,
microwaveable corn popper using the
manufacturer’s directions or prepackaged bags of
Microwave popcorn can be used with the preset
“Popcorn”
Button program. Always follow the
package directions.
4.
DO NOT
attempt to deep fry in your oven.
Temperature cannot be controlled and fat will
erupt. Many microwave utensils cannot withstand
the temperatures of heated oil, resulting in
shattering or melting.
5.
DO NOT
cook or reheat whole eggs in a
microwave oven. Pressure will build up and the
eggs will explode. Reheating Sliced hard-boiled
eggs and cooking scrambled eggs are safe.
6. Potatoes, apples, chicken wing, whole squash
and sausages are examples of foods with
nonporous skins. This type of food must be
pierced before cooking, to prevent bursting.
