"And if someone microwaves spaghetti in that tupperware, so help me..."
Do not microwave anything plastic. There is no such thing as microwavable plastic. "Microwavable plastic" is simply plastic that doesn't melt in the microwave. It can still leech, though. Thats why spaghetti often turns plastic Tupperware red when microwaved.
There are also glass tupperwares and microwave safe metal tupperwares.
The red/orange residue is also left on those, mainly due to the lycopene not dissolving in water. But I'm with you in the no heating or cooking in plastic.
TIL: microwave safe metal containers… 🤯
If i recall, the main trick is to make sure there aren't any sharp corners or other places that are close enough together that arcing can occur. But there might be some additional stuff, like coatings and other design choices that are necessary to promote even and effective heating (otherwise the microwave will heat the bowl instead of the food since the radiation won't pass through metal like it does with plastic, paper, or glass).
You also have one piece of cutlery that you hate and you don't know where it came from. You don't get rid of it though. You'd sooner do the washing up while starving than use that stupid slightly wider fork, but it stays in the draw just in case.
When the fuck did drawers become draws?
You still won't know what you're doing half the time, even if everyone else seems to.
I still maintain that I absolutely know what I'm doing, and I'm awesome for it. It's this world that says I'll get diabetes, and other health issues if I do a handstand hovering over a display of upward pointed sharp knives, eating a bowl of doreoittos as a cereal with no milk.
What? You never heard of doreoittos? It's when you twist open an oreo, so it's now two halfs of an oreo. Then you put dorittos in the middle, and then reassemble the cookie.
Fuck Tupperware and its microplastics. Use glassware.
My adult life so far: new furniture is cool, but have you seen my new collars? They're Memphis design-themed! Also I have another protobean because 24 of the little fuckers weren't enough. Oh boy, it's Friday! VRC drinking/getting-stoned-out-of-your-mind night! I just spent 9hrs doing an assessment at a mental hospital with my dad and oh boy am I glad my dad was there because otherwise I woulda been locked in without any outside contact but I got to go home after 9hrs of sitting in an empty room with my dad with nothing else to do except talk about life. At least I got a lot of misunderstandings cleared up and I'm feeling way more supported by my parents now (which I need a lot of atm).
(I've had a lot of things happen in the past couple months that have made me feel as though I'm starting all over again, but in a good way)
Meh. Favourite blanket, favourite toy; favourite furniture, favourite tupperware. It doesn't change that much..
I vote up, notwithstanding the lack of source or credit, which is imho very unkind
Wait. Y'all just don't buy a matching set?
Problem is when they break or wear out and they don't make the good ones anymore cos they changed the design 7 times to save 1c in manufacturing costs since you last bought new ones.
You buy several matching sets and can't match the lids to the tubs so you buy more sets and make the problem worse.
