Along the same lines, (this is something I have been wondering for a long while) how safe is it to put those shop bought ready meals which are in those plastic containers in the normal oven?? Obviously, the plastic doesn't melt or anything like that, but it seems abit dogdey to me! I mean, I still do it sometimes, but I might now start transferring the meal into a pyrex dish we have. From what I know as an ex science teacher, the plastic must be those 'thermosetting' kind, which doesn't melt, but still.....
I read somewhere that actually eating and drinking are more carcinogenic to humans than smoking but obviously we have to eat and drink!! Apparently things that are burnt are massive culprits, along with melted (when it goes bubbly brown) cheese.
To add my two cents to the microwave debate, an Editor of the 'journal of radiological protection' I worked with refused to own a microwave....
