VERIFY: Is it safe to microwave food in plastic containers?

Do plastics truly release toxins in your food when heated?

[heathchavez]

So much back and forth just to find out
Just use glass or ceramic 😂😂😂

You dont need to season your food if it's already seasoned with microplastics

The FDA employee that disagreed with this shot himself in the back of the head 3 times.

Yes but it’s not just 1 meal or reheat it’s over and over so it’s cumulative. Also what about frozen food containers that are cardboard but are usually waxy?

I need to show my mom this video thank you

[Techies]

One little paragragh of what an FDA employee says is being given as "proof" ... there is so much wrong with this.

You verified nothing.

Man...just use simple logics
Most plastic are only safe being in heat no higher than 65 C.
Now, the foods are microwaved possibly into pipin' hot more than 75 C inside the container, how is that going to be safe, I ask? In this regards, even bpa free isn't enough guarantee to avoid dangers

When using a glass container, what cover should one use? Glass, Steel, or plastic cover?

[HoangNguyen-wgbf]

The question is: do you still trust the FDA?

I have 2 in the city & 1 in the village but barely use microwave more for popcorn, also people set it to high, you can warm food in 1min on lowest temp, people like puting meat 5min on high

[StefanBacon]

That's not very helpful as most food containers intended to survive heating cooking are made from polypropylene. Polycarbonate, while a very useful plastic in industry and common for cold-storage of food in restaurants is uncommon in modern consumer plasticware.
