Using Plastic Wrap in the Microwave

If you use plastic wrap to cover items before placing them in the microwave, look for plastic wrap that specifically says it’s microwave-safe. Also don’t let plastic wrap actually touch the food during the microwaving process. In addition to using microwave-safe plastic wrap, other safe wrapping material includes waxed paper, cooking bags, parchment paper and white paper towels.

There are a number of containers not recommended for use in the microwave oven. These include plastic storage containers such as margarine tubs, take-out containers, whipped-topping bowls and other one-time-use containers. These containers can warp or melt, causing potentially harmful chemicals to migrate into the food. Also do not use aluminum foil, plastic grocery bags and plastic storage bags.

Always use a microwave-safe dish and use the lid’s cover or covering suggested above. Make sure the cover does not touch the food.

  1. Plastic food storage products are certainly not a new innovation, but consumers have begun demanding better materials, better products and more variety—-and the plastics container manufacturers have been listening.
