    Avoiding Mishaps
    To avoid any microwave mishaps it is recommended to take extra care with the following:
    Low moisture foods (eg. cereals, bagels, dried pasta, pulses and chocolate)
    - These must be cooked on a low power level for a very short length of time, or preferably not at all.
    High sugar content foods (eg. jams, syrups)
    - These foods can become easily ‘super-heated’ when cooked in a microwave oven.
    Foods containing alcohol
    - Foods with an alcohol content must not be cooked in a microwave as they could ignite.
    Foods with a membrane or outer skin (eg. fruits, sausages, potatoes)
    - Food with a sealed or none porous skin must be pierced to allow pressure and steam to escape
