In addition to not storing warm things in plastic, I also avoid storing liquids (e.g. food in sauce, stews etc) because I think its easier for plastic to contaminate the food. I am no expert so I may be over-reacting or completely wrong that dry food does any better in plastic.
- valval 3y agoI don’t think you’re overreacting if you think any invention newer than 100 years has a high probability of being detrimental to our nature in some way.

- TheCoelacanth 3y agoThe old inventions are just as likely (if not more) to be dangerous, we've just had more time to learn which ones are dangerous, which makes it easier to stay away from the dangerous ones.
- Reubachi 3y agoregardless of food context/state of matter, any chemical reaction occurring between food stuffs and it's voluminous container is leaching the plastic as the volume tries to reach chemical equilibrium. The air between the "dry" food and the container is just a bridge to the food-plastic at that point. Of course you won't see that happen in real time in a way that's like "Ah, now it's unsafe." But rest assured knowing it's ALL unsafe, depending on how you feel about life.
