Use white paper towels only if the label states they are microwave safe. Wax paper, parchment paper and oven cooking bags are safe to use. Don't overheat!" However, according to the USDA most paper plates should actually be safe to use http://www.fsis.usda.gov/FactSheets/Microwave_Ovens_and_Food_Safety/index.asp#11 "What containers and wraps are safe to use in the microwave oven?Only use cookware that is specially manufactured for use in the microwave oven.
