Answer 1

All heated plastic releases toxic, carcinogenic chemicals.

Like all things, certain people have decided a certain amount are safe.

This is usually true! Dose matters!

But, the people saying what the safe amount is are not always to be trusted.

Don’t heat shit up in plastic. Always transfer it to a ceramic dish
