As safe as we all think the
microwave is for children, I would
like to share with you an accident
that happened at our house recen
tly involving three children ages 7,
g and 10 making microwave oat
meal. An accident occurs when
the dish becomes too hot, is
dropped to the floor, and the oat
meal splatters out onto the three
kids’ pants. As each child
screams, from across the room
you wonder what on earth hap
pened. When the oatmeal splat
tered on their pants, the seven
year-old received third degree
bums (the size of a saucer) on her
leg. One cup of oatmeal, three
children burned, and still half of it
landing on the refrigerator door.
The heat Grom the oatmeal made a
steaming effect on their pants,
resulting in a worse bum than if
the oatmeal had hit their bare legs.
A lesson is to be learned from this.
Fire rarely results from a micro
wave, but the bums can be even
more devastating.
Another Mend related that her
child got severe bums from open
ing a bag of microwave popcorn.
The steam caused third degree
bums to the little boy’s face. If
anyone has microwave tales.

Another thing to remember
when you’re cooking meat in the
microwave is to trim away the fat
so that the grease doesn’t bum
you. For example, when you are
preparing a simple meat sauce,
cook the meat in a strainer with
the strainer in a dish. This way the
grease drains through the holes in
the strainer.

coupon for a free package of
noodles.
