Deep-Frying

Liquids

Overheating can cause sudden boil-overs. Use straight-sided containers, stir before and after heating, and allow to stand. Always stir and check baby food temperature before serving.

Accessories

Ensure accessories are microwave-safe, oven-proof, and do not touch the oven interior. Metal accessories can cause sparking. Ensure turntable rotates freely.
