* To test a porcelain container for safe microwave oven use: Fill a 250 mL (8 oz) glass beaker with water and place it in the
microwave oven along with the container to be tested; heat one minute at P10 (HIGH). If the container is microwave oven-safe
(transparent to microwave energy), it should remain comfortably cool and the water 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. Check
manufacturers' directions to determine if material is heat safe to 200°C (400° F).
