Answer:

Of course not. Preservative film is a kind of plastic and will produce toxic substances after heating and melting. Remember not to put the preservative film into the pot or microwave and it is best not to steam preservative film with mcrowave. When you use the preservative film, remember not to let it contact with food, for the preservative film may volatilize and produce harmful substances when heated or in contact with oil. You should prevent the preservative film from contaminating food as much as possible. From a physical standpoint, the preservative film has moderate oxygen permeability and moisture permeability, and can adjust the oxygen content and moisture content of the fresh product around, and block dust in the air.
It is best not to use preservative film in steaming. The preservative film is composed of polyvinyl chloride, which is non-toxic at room temperature. But it mustn't be heated, for after heating, it will produce toxins which are harmful to human body.
