This has probably appeared at some point, but maybe not.  Anyway, I'm the
proud owner of a new microwave oven.  My problem is: are my dishes
microwave safe?  I bought them years ago, before microwaves were prevalent
(existant?), and so they don't say anything about it on their obverse
side.  A friend said the thing to do was to put something that was not
very heat-conductive on a plate or in a bowl and try cooking it;  if the
plate/bowl got hot then it probably has too much metal in it to use.  This
sounds quite reasonable, so my question is "what do I try to cook?"  I
have no idea what kind of food qualifies.  Any suggestions?
