I'm concerned about the chemicals that can leach into my food from "disposable" food containers. The best thing to use is the new stuff made from the Polycarbonate. No chemicals to leak out and extremely strong. In fact, it's the same type of plastic used for bullet-proof glass. You should check it out. I’m with you.

Besides all of the reasons you mentioned, it's not even anything that anyone particularly needs. What could be easier than steaming vegetables, in the microwave or on the stovetop? You can even do it in a regular old bowl -- just add a small amount of water and cover with your microwave cover. I am getting really tired of companies marketing more and more specialty-use things that we don't even need and convincing people that they can't do something as simple as steam vegetables unless they have some sort of special equipment. Sheesh. I saw this too. Besides all of the reasons you mentioned, it’s not even anything that anyone particularly needs.

I suppose in theory that allows heat and steam to escape and keeps it from melting? I'm with you though. Yuck. The technical difference is that “microwavable” plastic wrap (etc) has pores.
