To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate 

the food, without being reflected or absorbed by the dish used.

Care must therefore be taken when choosing the cookware. If the cookware is

marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry.

The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates whether and 

how they should be used in a microwave oven.
