Food Preparation

Follow these Safety Precautions when cooking in your oven.

IMPORTANT  

Proper cooking depends upon the power, the time setting  and quantity of food. If you use a smaller portion than  recommended but cook at the time for the recommended  portion, fire could result.

1) HOME CANNING / STERILIZING / DRYING FOODS / SMALL QUANTITIES OF FOODS

  • DO NOT use your oven for home canning. Your oven cannot  maintain the food at the proper canning temperature. The food  may be contaminated and then spoil.
  • DO NOT use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby  bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at the high  temperature needed for sterilization.
  • DO NOT dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven.  Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can  dry out, scorch or catch on fire if overheated.

2) POPCORN

Popcorn may be popped in a microwave oven corn popper.  Microwave popcorn that pops in its own package is also available.  Follow popcorn manufacturers’ directions and use a brand suitable  for the cooking power of your microwave oven.

CAUTION:  When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, you  can follow recommended package instructions or use the Popcorn  button (refer to page 10). Otherwise, the popcorn may not pop  adequately or may ignite and cause a fire. Never leave the oven  unattended when popping popcorn. Allow the popcorn bag to cool  before opening, and always open the bag facing away from your  face and body to prevent steam burns.

3) DEEP FAT FRYING

Food Preparation (continued)  8) THERMOMETERS

•  DO NOT  deep fat fry in your microwave oven. Cooking oils  may burst into flames and may cause damage to the oven and  may result in burns. Microwave utensils may not withstand the  temperature of the hot oil, and can shatter or melt.

4) FOODS WITH NONPOROUS SKINS

•  DO NOT COOK / REHEAT WHOLE EGGS, WITH OR WITHOUT  THE SHELL. 

Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause injury. Reheating  

SLICED hard-boiled eggs and cooking SCRAMBLED eggs is safe.

•  Potatoes, apples, whole squash and sausages  are examples of foods with nonporous skins. These types of foods must be pierced before microwave cooking to prevent them from exploding.

CAUTION:  Cooking dry or old potatoes can cause fire.

5) GLASS TRAY / COOKING CONTAINERS / FOIL

  • Cooking containers get hot during microwaving. Heat is  transferred from the HOT food to the container and the Glass  Tray. Use pot holders when removing containers from the oven  or when removing lids or plastic wrap covers from cooking  containers, to avoid burns.
  • The Glass Tray will get hot during cooking. It should be allowed  to cool before handling or before paper products, such as paper  plates or microwave popcorn bags, are placed in the oven for  microwave cooking.
  • When using foil in the oven, allow at least 1-inch (2.5 cm) of  space between foil and interior oven walls or door.
  • Dishes with metallic trim should not be used, as arcing  may occur.

6) PAPER TOWELS / CLOTHS

  • DO NOT use paper towels or cloths that contain a synthetic fiber  woven into them. The synthetic fiber may cause the towel to  ignite. Use paper toweling under supervision.

7)  BROWNING DISHES / OVEN COOKING BAGS

•  Only use browning dishes that are designed for microwave cooking. Check browning dish information for instructions/heating chart. DO NOT  preheat browning dish more than six minutes.

If an oven cooking bag is used for microwave cooking, prepare  according to package directions. DO NOT use a wire twist-tie to close bag. Instead use plastic ties, cotton string or a strip cut from the open end of the bag.

•  DO NOT  use a conventional meat thermometer in your oven. Arcing may occur. Microwave safe thermometers are available for both meat and candy.

9) BABY FORMULA / BABY FOOD 

•  DO NOT  heat baby formula or baby food in the microwave oven. The glass jar or surface of the food may appear warm while the interior can be so hot as to burn the infant’s mouth and esophagus.

10) REHEATING PASTRY PRODUCTS

• When reheating pastry products, check temperatures of any  fillings before eating. Some foods have fillings, which heat faster  and can be extremely hot, while the surface remains warm to the  touch (for example, jelly donuts).

11) GENERAL OVEN USAGE GUIDELINES

•  DO NOT  use the oven for any purpose other than the  preparation of food.
