Tip: Testing Dishes for Microwave Safety

April 29, 2005

To determine whether or not a dish is microwave safe, put 1 cup water into a glass measuring cup. Place the measuring cup in the microwave in the dish being tested. Then microwave at high for 1 minute. If the dish being tested is warm and the water cool, the dish is unsafe.

Thanks for the info! Is there a way to check if a jar(or a glass, a coffee mug) is microwave safe?
