metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be
used. Some cookware is labeled “suitable for
microwaving.”

●
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 builds up pressure in foods which are
tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Pierce
potatoes, egg yolks and chicken livers to prevent

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.
