Improperlycanned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.Always use the minimum recipe cooking time. It is better to undercook rather than overcook foods.Undercooked foods can be returned to the oven for more cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be done.Heat small quantities of food or foods with low moisture carefully. These can quickly dry out, burn or catch on fire.Do not heat eggs in the shell. Pressure may build up and eggs can explode.Potatoes, apples, egg yolks and sausages are examples of food with non-porous skins.These must be pierced before cooking to prevent bursting.Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven.Always stir liquids before heating.
