Microwave Safety Tips

I have seen it all now I think (but probably actually not).  It amazes me that our government has to take the time to write out personal safety tips for operating a microwave.  But then again, in this age, when a person can sue over a hot cup of coffee that they ordered then the manufacturers are probably grateful that FDA put out these instructions as well.  So, below is a link on how to safely operate your microwave and what "Not" to do.  I did read through the instructions and did find them interesting.  So, if you are a parent, sending your teenager off to college and you are getting them a microwave then I would probably include these instructions for them as well.   Or, if you have a teenager at home who is using the microwave then you very well might want to review these safety tips with them.  Yes, even as they roll their eyes at you and sigh because they know it all, if it means one less accident and no major burns THAT IS A WIN!
