Same tbh. I can taste it in my water if I use a plastic water bottle on a hot day… So it makes me think it probably does the same to food. Honestly it shocks me how readily people are willing to use plastic when heating up food
In my opinion, the only plastic suitable for warm food is polypropylene and below 103°C. Polyethylene and polystyrene are yucky for food contact, and rubbers (including chewing gum) are horrible for food contact. Silicone I’m not sure about since I haven’t properly studied it, but it seems like the fourth non miscible fluid (of ionic like water, greasy like oil, metallic like solder, and silicones), but if there’s a plastic food product and it doesn’t claim to be PP or silicone I will try not to use it. I like to get my food very very hot and crispy so polypropylene isn’t suitable for me.
