TO TEST A CONTAINER FOR SAFE MICROWAVE OVEN USE: 

Fill a microwave safe cup with cool water and place it in  

the microwave oven along side the empty container to be tested; 

heat one (1) minute at PL 10 (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.
