Dishes for microwave ovens
CAUTION!

•  Tightly sealed containers heated in a microwave can be explosive.
•  Sealed containers should be opened and plastic bags should be poked a few times with a fork in order to allow 

steam to escape before being placed in the microwave oven. 

•  If you are unsure about using a certain dish in the microwave oven, then conduct a test. 

Checking dishes before using them in the microwave

•  Place the dish in the cooking chamber of the oven (a plate, for example) and place a glass cup of water in the 

center of the dish. 

•  Set the microwave to maximum power and heat for no more than one minute. 
•  Carefully touch the dish you are testing: if it heated up and the water in the cup is cold, than the dish should not 

be used in the microwave. 

•  Avoid testing dishes for more than one minute.
