power.
After one minute:
if the container is cold, it is "transparent" and can be used for microwave cooking,
if the container is warm or hot it is absorbent and must not be used for microwave cooking.

be allowed to accumulate on the cover, sparking will occur and may damage your oven
invalidating the warranty.
