Microwave ovens have, become a common appliance in many Canadian kitchens. Because of the way microwaves heat food. many con tainers can be used for heating that could not be used with more conven- tional cooking methods. However, some containers are not safe for use in the microwave. Polyethylene is the most common type of plastic film available and is used in milk bags, freezer bags and plastic wrap. It does not give off any Microwave toxic substances and is safe for use in the microwave, UNLESS it has any printing on its surface. The primer and printing inks used on polyethylene are toxic and may leak through the plastic into your food. Roasting bagsand boil -in -the -bags are usually made from polyester and mylar, and sound very crinkly and brittle. They are microwave safe. Plastic tubs such as margarine and refrigerator storage containers re made from polyethylene and have a waxy appearance. They are safe for the storage and heating of foods but may not stand up to prolonged heating. If they become stained or warped from prolonged heating. they should be thrown out. The use of styrofoam -type con- tainers in microwaves is controver- sial. It has been thought that they would release toxins when food is heated in them. More recent inform& tion suggests that this might not be so unless extreme heat is used. Under Cowgirls start with win The Crediton Cowgirls ladies fastball team started their playoffs on the right foot by defeating Poplar Hill ladies by scores of 14-5 and 16-1. They met Parkhill ladies last night (Tuesday) and swing into action in Crediton on Thursday night for a best of five series to determine the winner of the `B' division.

Until this controversy is resolved, con- sumers are best to he cautious about using styrofoam. in the microwave. Using styrofoam cups to hold the shape of paper muffin cups would not be a problem because the muffin bat- ter does not touch the styrofoam. Formed paper tubs, such as those used for take-out foods are not recom- mended for use in microwave ovens. The resins and glues used, as well as inks and dyes, are toxic and may leak into food. This is also true of paper plates and towels that have printed designs. If you want to re -heat any take-out food, it would be wise to remove it from the paper container it came in. Then, re -heat it in a microwave -safe container. When you use food containers in the microwave, there are three general rules to follow: 1. If there is any visible dullness or staining of the plastic, don't use it for, storing or heating foods. 2. If the container gives off any unpleasnat odours, it should be avoid- ed because the odours could be ab- sorbed in the food. 3. If the paper or plastic product uses dye. printers ink or glue, it should not be used for the heating of foods. Microwave ovens are a conve- nience that many people are enjoying in their kitchens. There are a variety of containers that can be safely used in the microwave. However. be sure to avoid those which may pose a hazard.'
