• Add standing time. Remove food from oven and stir, if

possible. Cover for standing time which allows the food

to finish cooking without overcooking.

• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that

cooking temperatures have been reached.

Doneness signs include:

• Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
• Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
• Poultry thigh joints move easily.
• Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
• Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

About Safety

• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United

States Department of Agriculture's recommended

temperatures.

TEMP

FOOD

160°F (71°C)

for fresh pork, ground meat, boneless

white poultry, fish, seafood, egg

dishes and frozen prepared food.

165°F (74°C)

for leftover, ready-to-reheat

refrigerated, and deli and carry-out

“fresh” food.

170°F (77°C)

white meat of poultry.

180°F (82°C)

dark meat of poultry.

• To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick

or dense area away from fat or bone.

NEVER

leave

the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is

approved for microwave oven use.

ALWAYS

use potholders to prevent burns when handling

utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough heat

from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin

burns.

• Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the

face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish's

covering and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking

bags away from the face.

• Stay near the oven while it's in use and check cooking

progress frequently so that there is no chance of

overcooking food.

NEVER

use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other

items.

• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its

high quality and minimize the spread of foodborne

bacteria.

• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause

arcing and/or fires.

• Use care when removing items from the oven so that

the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch the

safety door latches.

About Children and the Microwave

Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave

oven with a supervising person very near to them. Between

the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should be

in the same room.
The child must be able to reach the oven comfortably; if

not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on

the oven door.
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use

potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special

attention to packages that crisp food because they may

be extra hot.
Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one

cooking skill he/she can cook everything.
Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a

toy. See page 19 for Child Lock feature.
