DISH CHECK. If you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and microwave on HIGH
for 30 seconds. If the dish becomes very hot, do NOT use it for microwaving.
ACCESSORIES. There are many microwave accessories available for purchase such as popcorn poppers and thermometers.
Evaluate carefully before purchasing. A microwave safe or dual safe microwave/conventional thermometer will assist you in
determining doneness and assure you that foods have been cooked to a safe temperature. The dual safe thermometer can be
used with mix cooking.
