Yes, plastic parts in electric steamers can release chemicals when exposed to heat. Certain types of plastics, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), can release harmful chemicals like phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA) when heated. These chemicals may leach into the food or steam, potentially posing health risks if consumed. It is advisable to choose electric steamers with food-grade and BPA-free plastic parts to minimize exposure to harmful chemicals.
