we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers... This especially appli es to foods that contain fat......the combination of fat, high heat, and plastic releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the
body... Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex
or ceramic containers for heating food.. It's just safer to use 20 tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the
reasons... plastic wrap, such as Saran wrap,
is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover
food with a paper towel instead.
