Microwave - Popcorn Breaking Glass Tray

Glass trays/turntables in GE Appliances microwaves are tempered glass and resistant to heat and shock. It is very unusual for one to break.

Understanding and Preventing the Possibility of the Glass Tray Breaking When Making Popcorn

There have been some rare instances of stress points occurring in the glass due to extreme heat from the popcorn bag caused by continuous cooking of popcorn or if the popcorn is stale and does not pop. This can possibly cause cracking or breakage of the glass tray.

Some brands of microwave popcorn recommend placing a plate under the bag for proper popping. If this is the case, follow the packaging instructions.

Note: It is not recommended to use the microwave without the glass tray in place.
