CONTAINER TEST
TO TEST A CONTAINER FOR SAFE MICROWAVE OVEN USE:
Fill a microwave safe cup with cool water and place it in the microwave oven alongside the empty container to
be tested; heat one (1) minute at P10 (HIGH). If the container is microwave oven-safe (transparent to
microwave energy), the empty container should remain comfortably cool and the water should be hot. If the
container is hot, it has absorbed some microwave energy and should NOT be used. This test cannot be used
for plastic containers.
