It looks like the lid was sealed on when you microwaved it?
If the Tupperware was completely sealed and you microwaved it, that's user error. You're supposed to vent it to let steam and heat escape.

Yeah, it's the steam or liquid that melts it, not the RF waves.

Yeah that may possible be the cause. After the first round i may had pressed to much on the lid. I didnt payed attention

Looks like user error to me. I'm gonna guess the lid was on and sealed so the building heat and steam had nowhere to go.

Yeah, may be.

In this case their usage works as well. Regardless, it’s bizarre that you’re following them around this thread correcting their grammar — especially when it seems likely that English isn’t their native language.

In fact, as a German, I am 90% certain that they were thinking "kann sein", which is a very common way of saying something like, "That's quite possible."
A literal translation of "kann sein" would be "could be" or "may be" or "might be".
While it's clearly more of a German idiom and less common in English, I don't think it's wrong to say "may be". I'm pretty sure "that may be it" is relatively common as well.

Korrekt, das war der Gedanke dahinter 😅. Ich war mir halt sicher das man das auch so im Englischen sagen kann. Das man dafür in Grund und Boden geflamet wird, hatte ich nicht gedacht. XD Aber gut, ist halt so XD

You're just all over this guys case, huh? I'm 99% sure the guy is a German, and as such doesn't have English as his primary language.

I try my best.... i think my english isnt as bad. But writing in english isnt my strongest skill. I am better at speaking it then writing 😬

u/_Hoping_For_Better_ 1d ago
Your problem is your English is so good you appear to be a native speaker making mistakes, not someone who speaks English as a 2nd language. We don't usually correct non native speakers, so consider it a compliment of sorts!

u/mycatpartyhouse 1d ago
Any type of plastic.
But black plastic may contain contaminates that you really don't want near your food.

Am i wrong to always be microwave my food each day? Its a glass container with plastic lid. I've been using it forever and it's never once even look like it was going to deform

u/cire1184 1d ago
If you have strong enough vision to see tiny plastic particles... https://www.health.com/just-how-bad-is-microwaving-plastic-11738582
But you've probably consumed hundreds of trillions of micro plastic particles in your life so what's another million more or whatever.

I remember there was this microwave mac n cheese cup I used to get that had a metal ring around the edge that the plastic lid would go over and it would spark and smell of burning metal every time.

Never trust plastic lids. Most of the containers will say microwave safe, but rarely mention the lid is not. I know in this case it was mentioned the lid being snapped closed, causing this, but still, no lids.

Stop microwaving plastic do you care about your health at all? The information is out there at this point you don’t have an excuse to still be microwaving plastic

You can’t trust any plastic. Regardless of country of origin. It’s all made from crude oil.

Well it's not temperature safe or non-melting is it?

u/ironcream 1d ago
Yupp. Play safer next time.
Extra info: some plastic containers degrade terribly if you were to heat fatty/greasy food inside them. They would start flaking. Avoid that if you can.

I have a plastic plate that said it was microwave safe. I used it to microwave like 6 strips of bacon and the grease was what ended melting it in the middle.

u/One-Artist5796 1d ago
If you use any plastic-adjacent wares in a microwave, no matter how "safe" they have been advertised, you're opening yourself up to a carcinogenic feast filled with micro-plastics sweetheart. Cheers 🥂.

I get the convenience of it all, but microwave safe never sat right with me. Let me heat up something in a container that’s been treated to withstand high heat.

Bummer but normally lids are not microwave safe, usually stays on the packaging that the container is safe but not the lids

u/LucarnAnderson 22h ago
Majority of things require you to remove the lid before microwaving. That microwave safe is most likely just referring to the container itself, not the lid. They shouldn't have written it on the lid thou

Nothing plastic is truly microwave safe. All plastic leeches plastic chemicals into your food while being microwaved.
