Here is the revised list:

– Most dishes labeled microwave-safe are safe to use in a microwave.
– Porcelain, stoneware, and ceramic without metallic paint or design are safe in a microwave.
– Glass dishes should be certified safe with a logo imprinted on them.
– Plain paper dishes labeled microwave-safe are safe to use, as some non-microwavable paper plates and cups are coated with plastic.
– A microwavable dish must distribute heat evenly and not be heated by microwave energy.
– Round or oval microwave-safe containers allow even heat distribution and efficient heating.
– Rectangular and square-shaped dishes may cause overheating or burning in the corners.
– Dyes, colorful pigments, or stains on certain containers may receive heat, so plain-looking dishes are recommended for efficient heating.
– Plastic containers labeled safe for microwave use are safe to use.
– Plastic containers should not be scratched, cracked, or dented as they may have added plastic leaching out into food.
– Microwavable takeout trays are for single use and should be disposed of properly after use.
