microwave safe

Won't melt inside

Microwave safe describes containers or materials that won't melt, warp, or release harmful chemicals when heated in a microwave oven.

The label appears on food storage containers, dishes, and packaging: Check if the container is microwave safe before reheating.

Some materials conduct heat unevenly or spark, making them unsafe for microwave use.
