Dishes for microwave ovens
CAUTION!
• Tightly sealed containers heated in a microwave can be explosive.
• Sealed containers should be opened and plastic bags should be poked a few times with a fork in order to allow
steam to escape before being placed in the microwave oven.
• If you are unsure about using a certain dish in the microwave oven, then conduct a test.
Checking dishes before using them in the microwave
• Place the dish in the cooking chamber of the oven (a plate, for example) and place a glass cup of water in the
center of the dish.
• Set the microwave to maximum power and heat for no more than one minute.
• Carefully touch the dish you are testing: if it heated up and the water in the cup is cold, than the dish should not
be used in the microwave.
• Avoid testing dishes for more than one minute.
