I remember looking for that pharse diligently and not seeing it when I
saw it at Ross. I bought it anyway because I had my mind set on bying
it the firt time I saw it online, willing to pay that online price. at
Ross, I got it for $6.99. I'll assume that it's microwave safe.

BTW, thanks everyone for the tips on defrosting. Whe I deforst, if I
didn't have it taken out ahead (which I reaely do these days), I use
the microwave feature, I enter the weight info anout .5 -.75 lb less
than the actual weight. Then I just let it sit while I prep other
stuff. I will try using the aluminum approach by letting the bowl
that the meat pack contin sits on it. I guess the bowl cannot be
stainless steel. I don't see how I'd place the eat packet directly on
it. Some meat juice would need to be cleaned up, an extra step for
me because when I seet meat juice, I visualize the colonies of
microbes.
