						Is it safe to use a microwave oven to heat food in a plastic dish that doesn't say "Microwave Safe?"
					
				 
				
						
														
					
												Why risk it?  "Microwave safe" means all the little chemical and physical bits of plastic will still be in the dish after heating--as opposed to being in the dinner after eating.
We can't control what we breathe, or the quality of a city water supply, but you can make an enlightened  choice about microwave dishes.
											
					
				 
																
						
														
					
												Besides, it'll probly melt.
