I feel kind of stupid, but I am in the process of replacing my old tupperware dishes and did a research about eco friendly replacements and found out that plastic is really not safe to microwave. I have microwaved scratched up plastic bowls for as long as we have had a microwave and never realized that it could harm you.
Last night I went through what I have and threw out the ones that did not even have a number on the bottom. I am buying glass storage bowls with my Christmas money.
I wonder what problems it causes helath wise. Probably don't want to know.

I always use glass dishes in the microwave.
Along those same lines, I often wonder what harm we are doing to ourselves by using a microwave all the time? Those "micro-waves" can't be good for us. I always make sure to stand back from the microwave and not stand right in front of it.
I just wish they weren't so quick and convenient. :(
I wonder if there are more occurrences of cancers since the microwave invention vs. pre-microwave convenience?
