Ah yes, the tech world bravely marches toward the future of human #microwaving 🔥👕, where the only thing standing between you and a shocking new wardrobe malfunction is a website’s desperate plea for #JavaScript. Meanwhile, the dystopian dream of frying us all from the inside out continues to be one JavaScript setting away. 🌐🤦‍♂️

Is Microwaving Plastic Really That Bad?

It’s hard to imagine life without microwaves. From reheating coffee to cooking frozen meals, we use microwaves for many kitchen tasks. While they are undoubtedly one of the most convenient and versatile appliances in the kitchen, there are concerns about the health consequences of using microwaves, specifically when it comes to plastic. As these plastic containers heat up, they can release chemicals into our food. But are the chemicals that harmful? Should we not be microwaving any plastic? The answer is complicated.

«Hussain brought a couple of store-bought reusable #plastic containers. He filled the storage vessels with water and 3% acetic acid to mimic the aqueous and acidic foods they might reasonably contain in real life. After storing the filled containers in the fridge or at room temperature for 10 days, the team found millions to billions of #microplastics and #nanoplastics in the liquids. #Microwaving the containers accelerated the process by an alarming magnitude.»
