room temperature, it is suitable for microwave
cooking.
• Paper napkins, wax paper, paper towels, plat es,
cups, cartons, freezer wrap and cardboard are
great convenience utensils. Always be sure
containers are filled with food to absorb energy
and thus avoid the possibility of overheat ing.
• Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer containers an d
plastic wraps may be used in the microwave
oven. Follow manufacturer’s instructions wh en
