Cookware may become hot because of heat
transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may
be needed to handle the cookware.

[]

"Boilable" cooking pouches and tightly closed
plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented
as directed by package. If they are not, plastic
could burst during or immediately after cooking,
possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage
containers should be at least partially uncovered
because they form a tight seal. When cooking
with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap,
remove covering carefully and direct steam away
from hands and face.

char if subjected to short periods of overcooking.

cookware could ignite.
