For the same reasons, rewarming fatty food in an otherwise microwave-safe polypropylene container tends to damage the container.


Yes, the oil microwave myth is dispelled as soon as you heat left over Italian...the tide line of chewed up plastic.

Know a girl who decided to make microwave roux in a microwave safe container...ended up a sloppy molten mess on the floor of it.

MW's heat by the excitation of water molecules. Unless your oil has a significant amount of water in it, (and I hope it does not!) the MW won't do much good.

You are right, but it fits with this thread




Do you reheat your food in the same microwave? I’m not sure this is anything I would even attempt let alone recommend.

Makes about as much as dumping oil into a running engine doesn't it?
