QUESTION
I just saw a health special that plastic ware should not be used in a microwave because of the dioxins that it gives off that is appearing to be a large link in the increased breast cancer rates.
Does your plastic contain the make up that would allow dioxins to be released when the plastic is heated?
ANSWER
Hello, thank you for your concern and awareness.
This Nordic Ware item is BPA free. We sell products from hundreds of companies so additional plastic analysis would have to be done on a manufacturer-to-manufacturer basis.
However, to take the guesswork out of microwaving I recommend using glass containers. Item #108622 is a great set that includes storage lids. For larger amounts of food something like item # 110797 would be useful plus it is great for baking.
