Most people know that plastic and hot food are a bad combination in any regard. But we sometimes forget the details:
- Don't microwave in ANY type of plastic
- Don't pour hot food into any plastic container for storage -- not a plastic tub, bowl or bag.
- Don't drink hot liquids from a plastic or styrofoam cup -- choose stainless steel, porcelain, glass, or paper
- Don't stir hot foods on the stove with a plastic utensil -- choose wooden or stainless steel.
It's very simple -- plastic breaks down when it's heated and mixes with the food or liquid. Ingesting it is really unhealthy, in the short term and in the long term. Yes, it can cause cancer.
