Plastic or Ceramic dishes in Microwave? Is it okey?

Can I put Plastic or Ceramic dishes in Microwave?It won‘t burn? every body does that right?

Answer:

It's unhealthy to put plastic in, even those that says 'Microwave-safe'. It's better and safer to use ceramic dishes, instead. At times, the heat will melt the plastic and toxins will get into the food.
It will depend. Some plastics and some ceramics are MW safe and some aren't. They will not burn, but those that aren't MW safe can melt or crack. For MW cooking get proper MW plates bowls jugs etc For reheating, most ceramic are safe but you have to be careful with the different types of plastics.
Only use ceramic in the microwave. All plastic leeches out toxic chemicals when they are heated. Don't even put the plastic ones in that come with prefrozen foods in and say put in microwave.
