“Microwave Only” cooking. If you are still doubtful about using a particular container, you can perform a simple test.

Microwaves consist of electromagnetic radiation found in nature under the form of light waves (e.g., sunlight). Inside the oven, these waves penetrate food from all directions and heat up the water, fatty and sugar molecules. Heat is produced very quickly only in the food itself, whereas the container being used warms up indirectly by means of heat given off by the heated food.
