It’s a big misconception that all food containers, except steel, can be put inside the microwave oven and reheated over and over again. The chemicals present in plastic containers when heated come in contact with the food and can affect testosterone and estrogen levels - something that has been linked to cancer. Always choose the containers which read ‘microwave safe’ and ‘heatproof’.

Not every vegetable or fruit should be stored in the refrigerator as they can actually ruin their freshness. Instead, the vegetable which will rot the fastest should be kept inside. Always choose a low humidity setting for the same so that damage is avoided.
