carefilly.

safe plastic may not be as tolerant
of overcooking conditions as are
glass or ceramic materials and
may
sofien
or
char if subjected to
short periods of overcooking. In
longer exposures to overcooking,
the food and cookware could
ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use
microwave-safe plastics
ordy
and
use them in strict compliance
with
the
cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations. 2) Do not
subject empty cookware to
microwaving. 3) Do not permit
children to use plastic cookware
without complete supervision.
