Evenmicrowaveplastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if sub- jected to short periods of overcooking, In longer ex- posures to overcooking, the food and utensils may even ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use microwave plastics only and use them in strict compliance with the utensil manufacturer’s recommendations. 2) Do not subject empty utensils to microwaving. 3) Do not permit children to use plastic utensils without com- pletesupervision.
