To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the
food without being reflected or absorbed by the dish.
It is important to choose the correct cookware, therefore look for cookware that is
marked microwave-safe.
The table below lists various types of cookware and indicates if and how they
should be used in a microwave oven.

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.
. 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.
