Take care when microwaving liquids. Use a wide mouthed container toallow bubbles to escape.
Never heat liquids in narrow necked contai ers such as baby bottles, as this may result in the contents erupting from the container when heated and cause burns.
To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and posslble scalding:

1. Do not use excessive amount of time.
2. stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
3. Itisadvisable to insert a glass rod or similar uten- sil (not metal) into the liquid whilst reheating.
4. Let liquid stand for at least 20 seconds in the oven at the end of cooking time to prevent delayed eruptive boiling.

Do not cook eggs in their shells, and whole hard boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode even after mi-crowave cooking has ended. To cook or reheat eggs which have not been scrambled or mixed, pierce the yolks and the whites, or the eggs may explode. Shell and slice hard boiled eggs before reheating them in the microwave oven.
Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.
To avoid the possibility of burns
WARNING: The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars must be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption in or-derto avoid bums.
Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food from the oven to prevent burns.
Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven cook-ing bags, etc, away from the face and hands to avoid steam bums and eruption of boiling.
To avoid burns, always test food temperature and stir before serving and pay special attention to the temperature of food and drink given to babies, children or the elderly. Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young children should be kept away.

MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS

There are 5 microwave power levels available as listed below.
The microwave power level s varied by the microwave energy switching on and off. When using power levels other than HIGH (100%) you will be able to hear the microwave energy pulsing on and off as the food cooks or defrosts.
Generally the following recommendations apply:
800 WATT = HIGH – used for fast cooking or reheating eg. for casseroles, hot beverages, vegetables etc.
620 WATT = MEDIUM HIGH – used for longer cook-ing of dense foods such as roast joints, meat loaf and plated meals, alo for sensitve dishes Such as sponge cakes. At this reduced setting, the food will cook evenl without over cooking at thedides .
440 WATT = MEDIUM – for dense foods which require along cooking time when cooked conventionally, e.g. beef casserole, it is advisable to use this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender.
260 WATT = MEDIUM LOW – to defrost, select this power setting, to ensure that the dish defrosts evenly.
This setting is also ideal for simmering rice, pasta, dumplings and cooking egg custard.
130 WATT = LOW – for gentle defrosting, e.g. cream gateaux or pastry.
