a dish is microwave-satE,
use this test: Place in the
oven both the dish you
are testing and a glass
measuring cup flled with
1 cup of water--set the
measuring cup either
in or next to the dish.
Microwave 30-45 seconds
at 1-figh. If the dish 1-mats,
it should not be used for
microwaving.
If the dish remains cool
and only the water in the
cup heats, then the dish
is microwave-satE.
If you use a meat thet_
mometer while cooking,
make sure it is sate tot

• Do not use recycled
paper products. Recycled
paper towels, napkins
and waxed paper can
contain metal flecks

containing nylon or
nylon filaments should
be avoided, as they may
also ignite.
