When CAP called me after my inspection the inspector said that
"manufacturer's Instructions" don't say food only. He said that it
applied to the safety warnings about use. If I hadn't gotten the word
directly from CAP I would still be confused but I am still using my
kitchen microwave to heat simple reagents and do special stains with
their blessing. My first contact from CAP was Ed Gruber and he had me
fax my information to Wilson Kung. Mr. Kung can be reached at

CAP now says "in accordance with manufacturer's instructions". In other
words, food only, no chemicals. How do I get away with that?

I use a plain old GE turntable microwave for that. It was like $150.00.
You do want the turntable kind and with a digital timer is best. What
you want to do is test the microwave to see exactly how long it takes to
heat your solution to the required temperature in the exact container
(staining tub, probably?) that you will be using.
