Cant ansewer your question,but do know put where made on bottom.
At least there is a life time warranty on tupperware,so can get a new container and hopefully not melt :)

Not all Tupperware is microwave safe. And if it is, it’s usually just for “reheating” food not completely cooking raw food for an extended amount of time (like 8 – 10 minutes).

Good luck getting it replaced but I’ve tried with two bowls and was told that I heated the food too long on too high a temperature in the microwave and that damage is not covered by the warranty.

Now if I threw the bowl down the stairs and it cracked, then I could get it replaced…go figure!

I hate to say this due to the amount listed; but tupperware has been rated the most unsafe PB emitter out there today. May very well be a leading cause of why learning disabilities are prevelant in our society today. as the use of softer plastics escalated so did many health problems and childhood autoimmunological ds. and things that were blamed on immunizations. Check out the last issue or two of Time magazine; finally someone had the guts to write about it. Our oil companies have squelched many researchers requests from study grants from Congress via lobbyists.

wow! I’m very glad I read this

You should not microwave any food on plastic. It’s linked to cancer.

I havent had any tupperware for years, I used to have a ton of it, and its dwindled down over the years. It was sure good product tho.
Not sure how the newer product is, but we used to microwave everything
using Tupperware. Id love to see one of their new catalogs, I havent seen a Tupperware lady for probably 15yrs.

Ummm sorry I was no help Montrose, but I just needed to put my 2 cents in :)

contact a tupper rep online, tell them the item cracked. 99% of the time tupper doesnt ask for the item to be returned. usually only on cookware and knives.

This isn’t really an answer, just some info’ you might find interesting…I used to BE a ‘’Tupperware Lady’’ & This in ONLY my opinion, not a statement of fact…I won’t buy Tupperware, anymore & I seldom use the older pcs I still have…but I never, and I do mean NEVER use ANY plastic product in a microwave even if it states you can use it in a microwave…GET glass, or Corningware, or USA Stoneware as these are MUCH safer to use in Microwaves…Carcinogenic Products such as PLASTICS, are not just unsafe for a person, but also for the environment…BARN is right on the money, too as is the seller inc! …and like ShabbyGirl, I just wanted to place my 2cents into this, too! Sorry about your burrito being ruined, better IT than your body, however!

EvERY answer is important and definitely has the brain rethinking (especially when styrofoam containers from leftovers for reheat in microwave)…

After reading such honest educational advice, I realize that transferring food from plastic onto a plate or glass for reheat is the thing to follow. I shall do it!

…The BP Level info was mainly what I wanted to read up on> thanks Gladys!

…That burritO? is now a goner in the trash! LOL

I agree using the microwave to cook food in plastic is not a good thing to practice.
From the Environmental Working Group (EWG)
“Never microwave in plastic containers that have not been specifically marked microwave-safe, especially containers made to hold other foods. And it’s prudent to avoid microwaving in plastic take-out containers. Heat encourages leaching of some plastic molecules from the container into the food.”

Tupperware also reacts to tomato based products. If you see it’s eaten through the plastic, imagine what chemicals have just leached into the food.
Get your hands on some of the older more sturdy Tupperware if you are going to store food in the refigerator, otherwise use glass jars and containers. I would stay away from cooking with plastic, though.

Happy Belated Earth Day :-)
