If you freeze your own baby food in plastic storage containers

that are specifically meant for baby food/breast milk etc. do you microwave in it if says "microwave safe"? My daughter is looking at different options to store the pureed baby food (besides ice cube trays) and we've found a few that she likes . They're plastic but state they're microwave safe.

I don't microwave in any plastic containers even if they are microwave safe...

Make sure that they're BPA free. You can't microwave breastmilk, so if she plans to use BM to thin out her purees, she might want to add it afterwards.

Re: If you freeze your own baby food in plastic storage containers

I try to avoid plastic in the microwave in general. I usually heat up his food in pyrex, which are expensive but can be used for a lot of things.

I don't even trust ceramic anymore. It all comes from china, and I don't trust their glaze/paint and that they follow any regulations.

But I will zap something for a few seconds to loosen it or to melt it, if its already in plastic. From what I read, its the actually cooking of food at high temperatures in plastic that can release toxins from the plastic. If you keep the temperature low, there is less risk.

I try to use only PBA free plastic containers anyway. PBA is bad for everyone.
