CONTAINER TEST
TO TEST A CONTAINER FOR SAFE MICROWAVE OVEN USE: Fill a 1-cup glass measure with cool water and place it in the
microwave oven alongside the empty container to be tested; heat one (1) minute at P10 (HIGH). If the container is microwave
oven-safe (transparent to microwave energy), the container should remain comfortably cool, the water in glass measure should be
hot. If the container is hot, it has absorbed some microwave energy and should NOT be used. This test cannot be used for plastic
containers.
COMMENTS
Small strips of foil can be molded around thin parts of meat or poultry to
prevent overcooking. Arcing can occur if foil is too close to oven wall or if
too much foil is used.

preheat for more than 6 minutes.
