Cooking Safety

Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture's recommended temperatures.
Temp
145˚F (63˚C) Fish
160˚F (71˚C) Pork, ground beef/veal/lamb, egg dishes
165˚F (74˚C) For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and deli and carry-out "fresh" food. Whole, pieces and
ground turkey/chicken/duck.
170˚F (77˚C) white meat of poultry.
180˚F (82˚C) dark meat of poultry.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the ther-
mometer 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 Oven while it is in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of
overcooking food.
• NEVER use the Microwave Oven 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.
• Use care when removing items from the oven so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch the safety
door latches.
• Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least 1 inch away from walls, ceiling and door of microwave oven.

In Case of Fire

Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the flame. Extinguish flame then turn on hood to remove smoke
and odor.
• Smother fire or flame by closing the microwave door. DO NOT use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother fire or flame.
• GREASE - Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. Let fat cool before attempting to handle it. DO NOT
allow grease to collect around the oven or in vets. Wipe up spillovers immediately.
