A member asked:
Is their a long term health issue with the steamable bags of veggies that you cook in the microwave? the cooking in plastic is what im referring to
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Plastic: To date, there are no definitive studies that prove that cooking vegetables in plastic is hazardous to health. There are proposed theoretical risks to doing so, and so each individual needs to make their own decision on what they want to do in that regard.
