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 1000 W.
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.
