1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
2. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and
let the teaspoon remain in the container.
3. After heating, allow to stand for a short time, stirring again
before carefully removing the container from the oven.

heat containers, but the hot food does.
Use oven mitts

oven parts, and pan after cooking to prevent
burns.
