SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICRO WAVING
Make sure all cookware
used in your microwave
oven is suitable fbr
microwaving. Most glass
casseroles, cooking dishes,
measuring cups, custard
cups, pottery or china
dinnerware which does not
have metallic trim or glaze
with a metallic sheen can
be used. Some cookware
is labeled "suitable tot
rnicrowaving."
" If you are not sure ifa
dish is microwavc-saff',
use this test: Place in the
oven both the dish you
are testing and a glass
measuring cup filled with
1 cup of water'--set the
measuring cup either in
or next to the dish.
Microwave 30-45 seconds
at high. If the dish heats,
it should not be used
tbr micmwaving.
If the dish remains cool
and only the water in the
cup heats, then the dish
is microwave-saSh.
