RECAUTIONS
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 correct canning
temperature. Improperly canned food may spoil and
be dangerous to consume.
Jars and Bottles
Jars and bottles can be used to warm food to serving
temperature. If the lid is removed
fi
rst. Cooking
should not be done in these containers since most
are not heat resistant and during extended heating
times, heat from food would cause cracking or
breaking.
Thermometers
are available for use in microwave
ovens. DO NOT USE CONVENTIONAL MERCURY
TYPE CANDY OR MEAT THERMOMETERS in food
while cooking in the microwave oven.
Alternatively, a conventional meat thermometer may
be used after the food is removed from the oven.
Sterilizing Jars
Jam jars can be sterilized by microwave ready for
your jams. Half
fi
ll with water and heat them on P10
power until water boils (approx.3 mins, for 2 jars).
Empty and drain upside down on kitchen paper. The
jars should be warm when
fi
lled with jam.
