Myth: Microwaving plastic containers and wraps releases harmful, cancer-causing substances into food.
Fact: Microwave-safe plastic containers and wraps are safe to use in the microwave.
But plastic containers not intended for use in the microwave could melt and potentially leak chemicals into your food. So avoid microwaving containers that were never intended for the microwave, such as margarine tubs, take-out containers or whipped topping bowls. Check to see that any container you use in the microwave is labeled as microwave-safe.
Thanks nitram,,,,, looks like the key word is “microwave-safe” and I never know what plastic containers that I have around the house are “safe”. So I avoid them all.
