Certain plastic containers are not microwave-safe and may release harmful chemicals when heated. Always check for a microwave-safe label. Plastic containers can warp or melt, compromising food safety. If the container doesn't specify that it's safe for microwave use, it's better to avoid microwaving it altogether. Even microwave-safe plastics can degrade over time or with repeated heating. Therefore, it's advisable to use glass or ceramic dishes, which are generally safer alternatives. If you do choose to use plastic, ensure it's intended for high temperatures and doesn't have any signs of wear and tear.
