Are These Containers Safe In The Microwave ?

In today’s day and age, convenience is key. And that carries over into food service.

There’s no doubt about it. Leftover food that can be reheated right in the leftover container is just plain convenient for your customer! That’s one less dirty dish for them to clean.

Microwave safe leftover containers are a premium feature for your restaurant. But what exactly makes a container microwave safe? We answer that question in addition to other benefits of microwave safe containers below!

What Makes a Container Microwave Safe?

Not all plastic containers are created equal. There are many different types of plastics used for food containers, and just because a container looks microwave safe doesn’t necessarily mean it is.

The truth is, there is no federal regulation that determines which plastics are considered microwave safe vs unsafe. That designation is up to the manufacturer to decide and label.

However, there are some characteristics that set microwave safe plastic containers apart from the rest. Generally speaking, plastic containers that are safe in the microwave are sturdy, resistant to high temperatures, and after microwaving still feels cool to the touch.

Additional Benefits of Microwave Safe Containers

Besides convenience, there’s a few other pluses to microwave safe leftover containers you may not have thought about…
