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

• 

Department of Agricultureʼs recommended temperatures.

145˚F  -  Fish.
160˚F - Pork, ground beef/veal/lamb, egg dishes
165˚F  - For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and deli 

and carry-out “fresh” food. Whole, pieces and 

ground turkey/chicken/duck.

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 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 Microwave Drawer while it’s in use and check 

cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of 

overcooking food.

•  NEVER use the Microwave Drawer 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. See page 19.

Eggs, sausages, fruits & 

vegetables

•  Puncture egg yolks before cooking to prevent 

“explosion”.

•  Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot 

dogs and sausages so that steam escapes.

•  Cook eggs in shells.

•  Reheat whole eggs.

•  Dry nuts or seeds in shells.

Popcorn

•  Use  specially  bagged  popcorn  for  the 

microwave.

•  Listen while popping corn for the popping to 

slow to 1 or 2 seconds or use special Sensor 

Popcorn pad.

•  Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or glass bowls.

•  Exceed maximum time on popcorn package.

Baby food

•  Transfer baby food to small dish and heat 

carefully, stirring often. Check temperature 

before serving.

•  Put nipples on bottles after heating and shake 

thoroughly. “Wrist” test before feeding.

•  Heat disposable bottles.

•  Heat bottles with nipples on.

•  Heat baby food in original jars.

General

•  Cut baked goods with filling after heating to 

release steam and avoid burns.

•  Stir liquids briskly before and after heating 

to avoid “eruption”.

•  Use  deep  bowl,  when  cooking  liquids  or 

cereals, to prevent boilovers.

•  Food should be shorter than the Microwave 

Drawer. Please refer to the height of side walls 

of the drawer.

•  Heat  or  cook  in  closed  glass  jars  or  airtight 

containers.

•  Can in the microwave as harmful bacteria may not be 

destroyed.

•  Deep fat fry.

•  Dry wood, gourds, herbs or wet papers.
