Utensil safety
Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-
resistant glassware utensils are excellent
for use in the microwave oven. Although
microwave energy will not heat most
glass and ceramic items, these utensils
can become hot as heat transfers from
the food to the container. The use of
oven gloves to remove dishes is
recommended.
