If you are unsure, use this dish test:
Measure 1 cup water in a glass cup.
Place in oven on or beside dish.
Microwave 1 minute at High (10).
If water becomes hot, dish is
microwave safe. If dish heats, it
should not be used for microwaving.

Paper towels, wax paper, and

plastic wrap can be used to cover
dishes in order to retain moisture
and prevent spattering.

 Some microwaved foods require

stirring, rotating, or rearranging.
Check the cooking guide for specific
instructions.

 Steam builds up pressure in foods

which are tightly covered by a skin
or membrane. Pierce potatoes, 
yolks and chicken livers to prevent
