To avoid the possibility of explosion and sudden boiling
1. Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and lids before use. Sealed containers can explode due to a build up of pressure even after the oven has been turned off. 2. When boiling water or other liquids, use a wide-mouthed container to allow bubbles to escape. It is advisable to insert a glass rod or other similar utensil to prevent sudden boiling (resulting in splashing or burning). 3. Do not cook eggs in their shells. They may explode. The explosion may damage the oven or injure yourself. To cook or reheat eggs which have not been scrambled or mixed, pierce the yolks and whites or the eggs may explode. Shell and slice hard boiled eggs before reheating them in the microwave oven. 4. Pierce the skin on such foods as potatoes, sausages and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.
