Risk of scalding.
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is
heated. This means that the liquid reaches boiling
temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to
the surface. The slightest vibration of the container
can cause the hot liquid to suddenly boil over or
spatter.
When heating liquids, always place a spoon in the
container. This will prevent delayed boiling.
Risk of explosion.
Never heat drinks in containers that have been tightly
sealed.
Never overheat alcoholic drinks.
Risk of burning.
Never heat baby food in closed containers. Always
remove the lid or teat.
Stir or shake well after the food has been heated. This
ensures that the heat is evenly distributed.
Check the temperature of the food before it is given to
the child.
Risk of burning.
Never cook eggs in their shells. Never reheat
hard boiled eggs as they may crack or explode.
The same applies to shellfish and crustaceans.
Always prick the yolk when frying or poaching eggs.
Always prick foodstuffs with a peel or skin such as
apples, tomatoes, potatoes and sausages
beforehand to prevent the peel or skin from bursting.
