使用微波爐安全提示   Microwave Ovens  (中,英對照) <參考>

 

1. 大件食物於烹煮後，應放置爐內10至20分鐘，讓熱力均勻散佈。加入食物的水份應較一般焗爐少、以免汁  液過多。

Large food items should be left inside the oven for an additional 10-20 minutes after cooking to ensure even distribution of heat. Add less water to your food to avoid overflows when cooking.

 

2. 爐內食物的體積應相近，以免部分過生或過熟。

Foods of different sizes cook a different rates which can lead to uneven results if they are cooked together. Cook them separately to ensure the best results and energy efficiency.

 

3. 採用淺而闊的微波爐容器，把食物平均分佈於容器上可助均勻吸收微波量。

To ensure even heat absorption, arrange food as one flat layer on a wide shallow dish.

 

4. 不宜長時間烹煮油脂重的食物，以免油脂過熱發煙。

Food with a lot of fat should be watched carefully – cooking to for too long can lead to burning.

 

5. 避免烹煮有殼或厚皮的食物如雞蛋及馬鈴薯，以防中途皮殼爆裂。

Avoid cooking food with a hard shell (e.g. eggs) or thick skin (e.g. potatoes) to prevent them from bursting during the cooking process.

 

6. 不可使用微波爐作烹飪以外的用途，如烘乾手帕，抹布等。

Never use the microwave oven for drying clothes or towels.

 

7. 爐門如不能關妥，切勿使用，以免微波外漏。

To prevent energy leakage, check for gaps between the microwave door and the oven body.

 

8. 不可堵塞爐門或排氣口，以免產生過熱或冷卻不完全等故障。

Blockages to the door or oven vents can cause overheating or other failures in the cooling system.

 

9. 切勿啟動無物的微波爐，以免因爐身溫度急升而引致故障。

Do not switch on the oven when there is nothing inside. This can lead to a sharp rise in temperatures within the oven and damage it permanently.

 

10. 採用獨立電源，不可與其他電器共用插座。

Use a separate individual electrical socket to plug in your oven plug.

 

11. 可放進微波爐的器皿包括：耐熱性強的玻璃容器、無金銀邊的陶瓷容器、耐熱性強的塑膠容器（不適用於含油份高的食品）及微波爐用保鮮紙（不適用於容易達高溫的食品例如肉類及油炸食物）。

Only certain types of containers should be used in the microwave oven. These include: heatproof glass or plastic (not suitable for food containing a lot of fat), ceramic ware without metallic trim, and microwave-safe cling film (not suitable for food that can be quickly heated up to a high temperature).

 

12. 不適宜放進微波爐的器皿包括：金屬容器、漆器、耐熱性弱的塑膠容器、一般玻璃容器、木、竹及紙製容器。

Unsuitable containers include: metal containers, lacquer ware, containers made of plastics that are not heat resistant, ordinary glass and containers made of wood, bamboo and paper.
