SAFETY FACT

SUPERHEATED WATER

Liquids, such as water,
coffee or tea, are able to
be overheated beyond the
boiling point without
appearing to be boiling.
Visible bubbling or boiling
when the container is
removed from the microwave
oven is not always present.
THIS COULD RESULT
IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS
SUDDENLY BOILING OVER
WHEN THE CONTAINER IS
DISTURBED OR A SPOON
OR OTHER UTENSIL IS
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

To reduce the risk of injury
to persons:

— Do not overheat the

liquid.

— Stir the liquid both

before and halfway
through heating it.

— Do not use straight-

sided containers with
narrow necks.

— After heating, allow the

container to stand in
the microwave oven
for a short time before
removing the container.

— Use extreme care when

inserting a spoon or
other utensil into the
container.

Avoid heating baby food

in glass jars, even with
the lid off. Make sure all
infant food is thoroughly
cooked. Stir food to
distribute the heat evenly.
Be careful to prevent
scalding when warming
formula or breast milk.
The container may feel
cooler than the milk
really is. Always test the
milk before feeding
the baby.

Don’t defrost frozen

beverages in narrow-
necked bottles (especially
carbonated beverages).
Even if the container is
opened, pressure can
build up. This can cause
the container to burst,
possibly resulting in
injury.

Hot foods and steam

can cause burns. Be
careful when opening
any containers of hot
food, including popcorn
bags, cooking pouches
and boxes. To prevent
possible injury, direct
steam away from hands
and face.

Do not overcook

potatoes. They could
dehydrate and catch
fire, causing damage
to your oven.

Cook meat and poultry

thoroughly—meat to
at least an INTERNAL
temperature of 160°F
and poultry to at least an
INTERNAL temperature
of 180°F. Cooking to
these temperatures
usually protects against
foodborne illness.
