[A'smommy]

I prefer not to heat anything in plastic; I will use ceramic plates or Pyrex instead. But I have plastic glasses and DD drinks from plastic sippies mostly because of a nasty cut I got a few years ago. I was washing a glass and it shattered, cutting my knuckle down to the bone. They said it was a miracle I didn't cut any tendons because I would have needed surgery. (It was my dominant hand, too!)

So, yes, plastic is (sometimes) my friend.
