oven is suitable for
microwaving. Most glass

microwaving."

dish is microwave-safe,
use this test: Place in the
oven both the dish you
are testing and a glass
measuring cup filled with
1 cup of water--set the
measuring cup either
in or next to the dish.
Microwave 30-45 seconds
at high. If the dish heats,
it shonld not be used for
microwaving.
If the dish remains cool
and only the water in the
cup heats, then the dish
is microwave-safe.

If you use a meat
thermometer while
coo’king, make sure

products. Recycled paper
towels, napkins and waxed

products containing nylon
or nylon filaments should
be avoided, as they may
also ignite.
