Dude! that lunch box that you have brought isn’t Microwave safe!….I know its from Tupperware, but that particular model ain’t microwavable. So don’t toast it in the microwave. Yeah, I mean it.

Well, that might sound amusing but I have seen them happen many a times at office cafeteria. If you are the one who take your lunch box or eat at office canteen, I am sure you would have come across these sightings lunch times. People putting their plastic lunch boxes into the microwave oven to enjoy a hot lunch.

But next time, before you push the plastic lunch box into the microwave wait for a moment, and look underneath for symbols. Microwavable boxes have distinct icons (generally at the back) indicating the same. They may look like one of the symbols below:
