Don't do it China Man! You are correct! The plastic residue will leach into you food.
Those bags are made out of the cheapest plastic, they are meant for a one way trip then discarded. They are not made from the same type of plastic that plastic food wrap is made of.
Plastic food wrap has a denser molecule on it's surface, and the chemical composition is of such that it won't leach it's chemical out into the food it is in contact with.
It is widely believe in the medical community, that chemicals leaching from certain plastics, are the main cause of some cancers.
Our bodies were not made to cope with petroleum based chemical introduced into the body, it simply does not know what to do with them. Some are passed through, and others are stored in our body fat, which leads to infections and formation of free radical cancer cells.
I hope that this helped you in some way.
Good Luck, and use reusable microwave safe containers to store and reheat you food in that fashion.
Happy Holidays.

Answer 2

i dunno. but try microwaving a grape its awesome!

Answer 3

NO!!!!

Answer 4

why would you ever do that?? NO!

Answer 5

That answer is in google if you search well- actually very easy to find and the answer is NO, it is not safe. As you heat plastics chemicals get released. Heavy duty plastics are made for that and not nearly as risky as a thin plastic bag that could even melt!

Source(s):

Common sense.

Answer 6

no look at the bag it will say so if it is and it will say if its not

Answer 7

i'd say you're okay. long term effect is minimal if there's any damage that gets done.

Source(s):

clapping your hands for five hours will make them bleed. common sense.

Answer 8

No man that's like lighting plastic on fire. The toxins will get in your food. I'm not sure it'll hurt you though. Ask your local doctor?

Answer 9

I would think it is NOT safe. Best rule of thumb, when in doubt, throw it out, or in this case, just don't do it! There are plastic wraps that specifically say safe for microwave cooking. Even then, the least amount of contact between the plastic and the food is the safest.
