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