If you are not sure if a dish is
microwave-safe, use this test:
P/ace in the oven both the dish you
are testing and a glass measuring
cup filled with one cup water--set
the measuring cup either in or next
to the dish. Microwave 1 minute at
high. If the dish heats, it should not
be used for microwaving. If the
dish remains cool and only the
water in the cup heats, then the
dish is microwave-safe.
• Paper towels, waxed paper and
plastic wrap can be used to cover
dishes in order to retain moisture
and prevent spattering. Be sure to
vent plastic wrap so steam can
escape.
