you were never supposed to microwave it. you add boiling water so you microwave the water and then add it to the container.
Microwaving plastic containers is one of those things that US people collectively decide to pretend is safe, but it’s clearly not.
It’s fiiiiiiiine
Which is why the incidence of weird internal medical issues is the US is nonexistennnnnnnnnnnnnnt
I’m from the “drink from the hose no seat belt smoke cigarettes” generation, and I still don’t want to eat any microplastics that I can easily avoid. Does that make me weird or something?
Honest question, how do you heat up things at work? The only time I use plastic is for bringing lunch but the only alternative I can think of is glass which is a lot more fragile, heavy and usually has a plastic lid anyways
Transfer the food to a ceramic plate then microwave it is usually my answer. At times I’ve used the strategy of just banging a plate from home into my lunch bag to accompany the plastic-packed lunch which will later get heated up.
I have glass containers that come in a few different sizes. They come with shitty lids, but for a few bucks you can get some nice silicone lids. Probably not good to microwave silicone either (I don’t know), but it’s just the lid.
Yeah I mean, you’re not supposed to microwave Styrofoam. Y’all haven’t been eating them like that right?? You’re just supposed to boil water and pour it in.
