If you are not sure whether an item is microwave-safe or not, you can perform the following simple test:
1, Fill 1 cup of a glass measuring cup -with water and put it inside your oven next to the item to test.
2, Press the One Minute+ button once to heat them both for one minute at high power.
After the minute, the water should be warm and the item you are testing should be cool. If the dish is warm,
then it is absorbing microwave energy and is not microwave-safe.
