To test a container / utensil for safe microwave oven use:
Add 1 cup of cool water to a heat resistant glass jug and place it in the microwave oven
alongside the empty container/utensil to be tested; heat for one (1) minute at maximum power.
If the container/utensil you are testing is microwave oven safe (transparent to microwave
energy) it should remain comfortably cool, the water in the glass jug should be hot. If the
container/utensil being tested is hot, it has absorbed some microwave energy and should
NOT be used.
This test is not applicable for plastic items. Check the markings on plastic items to ensure
they are microwave safe.
CAUTION: Personal Injury Hazard. Use an oven mitt or tea towel when handling
containers and utensils that have been heated in the microwave.
