Never overheat alcoholic drinks. There is a risk of
explosion.
Be careful with food that is prepared with drinks with a
high alcohol content (e.g. cognac, rum).
Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. In
unfavourable circumstances, the alcohol vapours
could catch fire in the oven. There is a risk of burning.
Only use small quantities of drinks with a high alcohol
content and open the oven door carefully.
Never heat baby food in closed containers. Always
d
remove the lid or teat.
Stir or shake well after the food has been heated. This
is the only way to ensure even heat distribution. There
is a risk of being burnt.
Check the temperature of the food before it is given to
the child.
Never cook eggs in their shells. Never reheat
hard boiled eggs as they can explode even after
d
microwave operation has ended. The same applies to
shellfish and crustaceans. There is a risk of burning.
Always prick the yolk when frying or poaching eggs.
Always prick the skin of foodstuffs with hard peel or
skins, such as apples, tomatoes, potatoes and sau
sages, before cooking to prevent the peel or skin from
bursting.
Never use the microwave to dry food. Risk of fire.
d
Do not defrost or heat food at too high a power or for
d
too long if the food has a low water content,
e.g. bread. Risk of fire.
Never use the microwave to heat cooking oil on its
d
own. There is a risk of fire.
