Can you put a White Box in the Microwave?!


Question: Can you put a White Box in the Microwave!?
you know how when you take an order to go, say at a chienesse restuarant, or thai place!. basically anyplase and they put the food in this white box ( I dnt mean the box box with a red drawing on it where they usually put rice in but more like the white box thats sometimes divided in sections!.

anyhow, can you warm the food with that in the microwave!?!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
The cardboard carryout containers!? The generally accepted theory is that these containers will be used to reheat the food in the microwave!. I would make sure not to overcook your food, and to keep an eye on it as it cooks!. While it is true metal is bad for microwaves, the staple is small enough that it does not interfere with proper operation, and should not be worried about!. A metal carrying handle, on the other hand, should be removed if present!.

If you refer to the styrofoam boxes with lids, sure, its possible!.!.!. but at high temperatures the styrofoam will melt!. Microwaves can cause hot spots where food cooks quicker in areas than in others!. If you speak of a styrofoam container, It is better to place the items on a true, microwave-safe plate or container!.

Hope this helps, enjoy the food!Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can, but remember they are loaded with chemicals so you will be doing this at your own risk!. If I were you I would just put the food on a plate and cover with a paper towel!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

ARE NOT GOOD TO PUT IN THE MICROWAVE!.!!!!!!

Just put the left overs or food on a ceramic plate!.!.

Plastic in the microwave emits deadly chemicals!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can as long as there aren't staples in the box!.!.!. but if it's styrofoam it will probably melt!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Metal is bad - styrofoam will melt at high temps if the food is going to get really hot!. I'd move it to a paper plate!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
