Use glass dishes in the microwave. They’re safer!
Glass dishware is preferred over plastic for use in your microwave. Some chemicals in
plastics are “fat loving” which means the higher the fat content and the higher the
temperature the more risks of chemicals leaching into your food. Food warmed up in
plastic containers that look cloudy and are scratched also raises your risk.
