5. Watch out for chemical migration

Many types of plastic contain two chemicals, BPA and phthalates, that may affect the endocrine system. Foods in plastic wrap or plastic containers may absorb these chemicals during microwave cooking. Meats, cheeses, and other foods with high-fat content are most susceptible. To avoid this type of chemical migration, use glass or ceramic cookware when reheating your food.
