microwave-safe, use this test:
Place in the oven both the dish you
are testing and a glass measuring
cup filled with one cup water—set
the measuring cup either in or next
to the dish. Microwave 1 minute at
high. If the dish heats, 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-safe.

plastic wrap can be used to cover
dishes in order to retain moisture
and prevent spattering.
Some microwaved foods
require stirring, rotiting or
rearranging. Check the Cooking
Guide for specific instructions.

foods which are tightly covered
by a skin or membrane. Pierce
potatoes, egg yolks and chicken
livers to prevent bursting.

while cooking, make sure it is
safe for use in microwave ovens.
