Microwave Metal?

[Jewls2u]

If I were asking someone to hand me a baking or cassarole dish, I would be
asking for a glass pan. If I asked for a baking or cake pan, a cookie sheet,
a pot or a pan, those would all be metal.

Cover with wax paper."
That to me seems something to get get really freaked out about.


As far as your concern--no, we have glass pans sitting in our cupboards,too.
