cover,
make
sure
that
the

deep
enough
so
the
plastic
wrap
does
not
touch
the

heats,
it
may
melt
the
plastic
wrap
wherever
the
wrap
touches
the

pressing
the
wrap
to
the
sides
of
the

?
Vent

turning
back
one
corner
of
the

Use
plastic
dishes,
cups,
semi-rigid
freezer
containers,
and

UNDERSTANDING
YOUR
MICROWAVE
OVEN
COOKWARE
GUIDE
Most
heat-resistant,
non-metallic
cookware
is
safe
for
use
in
your
microwave
oven.
However,
to
test
cookware
before
using,
follow
these
steps:
1.
Place
the
empty
cookware
in
the
microwave
oven.
2.
Measure
1
cup
of
water
in
a
glass
measuring
cup
and
place
it
in
the
oven
beside
the
cookware.
3.
Microwave
on
100%
power
for
1
minute.
If
the
dish
is
warm,
it
should
not
be
used
for
microwave
cooking.
