Nothing will convince me it’s safe to cook food to high temperature on whatever that chemical coating is.
And after a while you notice the surface is wearing away…. where is it going? Into you and your family.
All my pots and pans are stainless steel.
Great news, my local council outlawed or out regulated throw away plastic food containers so everything is not in waxed cardboard. Which holds up about as long as the food is actually safe to eat. So win win.
Australian politicians too weak for stuff like this.
Slightly off topic but I threw out all my pots and pans with non stick surfaces. Nothing will convince me it’s safe to cook food to high temperature on whatever that chemical coating is. And after a while you notice the surface is wearing away…. where is it going? Into you and your family. All my pots and pans are stainless steel.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Agreed. I haven’t microwaved food in plastic for 20+ years. It just always seemed gross. My biggest beef with plastic containers is that once washed with cheap dish soap (e.g. Dawn) the plastic container and any food stored in it always an forever smell and taste like the fragrance in the soap. I don’t find this to be a problem when using 7th Generation dish soap, which I consider to be far superior.
Microwaved plastic is obviously something to avoid I agree but what I would like to know is what happens on plastic plates in washing machine?
Why we don't use glassware? It's perfect for food. 1. Easy for cleaning 2. Good glass container will look new for years with proper washing 3. It breaks. So it requires full attention of person handling it. We all want to live in present moment, don't we? Use glassware and you will be in the present moment more often ;)
1. Cleaning doesn't really change much if it's plastic or glass. 2. With proper care, I agree, they'll look new/good for many years. Plastics can too, but to a lesser degree. 3. It breaks. 4. Glassware usually costs more. 5. Knowing that I can't break the tub of food that I have in my bag just because I accidentally dropped my bag, releases me of a lot of stress and worry. Don't get me wrong, I do agree that plastics…
It does, plastic has similar structure to oil and it is a PITA to clean oil from plastic containers.
From glass/metal it is very easy.

I had multiple plastic containers stained forever after storing pasta sauce in them, that never happened to any of my glass containers.

I can break glassware even when paying attention.
