sorry - really basic question about microwaves

[MarthaFarquhar]

can you microwave a heavy ceramic dish? never had a microwave, so wouldn't know, but DH is after reheating last night's shepherd's pie at work.

Yes, you can. Anything but metal.

and don't put the lid on while you're microwaving.

thanks for the quick responses! will go and prevent him from decanting into tupperware, which he insisted was essential .
