It is generally safer to cook your food in a ceramic or glass container when using a microwave. If you have any doubts, then just use non-plastic containers. It won't break the plastic companies banks if you switch to glass or ceramic dishes (there are plenty of other uses for plastic). One thing you should never do is reuse plastic containers that are from TV dinners, microwave pasta bowls, that sort of thing ... since those plastics are designed for a one-use only. It's best to stay away from those dinners anyway. If you're heating up coffee or a baby bottle full of milk in the microwave ... please use a glass or ceramic container for those as well. What you should not do is listen to CEOs or lawyers of plastic companies. I like plastic for many things, but heating plastic for cooking food ... I don't trust that.
