SUPERHEATEDWATER
Microwaved water and other
liquids do not always bubble
when they reach the boiling
point. They can actuafly get
superheated and not bubble
at all
Superheated liquid will bubble
up out of the cup when it is
moved or when something like
a spoon or tea bag is put into it.
Toprevent this from
happening and causing injury,
do not heat any liquid for
more than 2 minutes per cup.
After heating, let the cup
stand in the microwave for
30seconds before moving it
or putting anything into it.
Axoid heatill}J, baby Jood ill

resulting in iqj u W.
:_ Spontaneous boiling -
Under certain special
circumstances, liquids
may start to boil during or

Defrosting Tips
For best results, 1)1_(( •{ood directly on the

Foods/i'ozen in tiatier or plastic can be det_:osted
in the tia( k+_ge. Tightly closed packages should
be slit, tiier(ed or vented AFTER/ood has
tiartiMly det_'osted. Plastic storage (ontainers
should be at least tiartially tmcovered.
Family-size, 1)retiackaged t_'ozen dinners (an be
de/i'osted and microwaved. If the/ood is in a loll
container, trans/i'r it to a microwave-sa/b dish.
Foods that Sl>oil easily, such as milk, eggs,
fish, stu/lings, tlotflu:y and 1)ork should not lie
alh)wed to sit ()tit t()r lIlore thall one hotll? alter

For more even de/i'osting of larger/oods, such
as beeL lamb and veal roasts, use Auto Defrost
Be sure large meats are completely de/i'osted

When de/i'osted,/ood should Lie (ool but
