    Do not microwave anything plastic. There is no such thing as microwavable plastic. “Microwavable plastic” is simply plastic that doesn’t melt in the microwave. It can still leech, though. Thats why spaghetti often turns plastic Tupperware red when microwaved.

      There are also glass tupperwares and microwave safe metal tupperwares.

      The red/orange residue is also left on those, mainly due to the lycopene not dissolving in water. But I’m with you in the no heating or cooking in plastic.
