Subject: RE: BS: What glue can you use in a microwave?
Don't use glue in a microwave. It will poison the food you cook in it.
Avoid using plastics in a microwave.

from mindfully.org:

"IT ISN'T KNOWN how much risk resides in low-level exposure to plasticizers or chemicals in plastic ware. Still, FDA science policy analyst Catherine Bailey says "When you microwave, it's a good idea not to have the plastic touch the food." Alternatively, cook in microwaveable glass or ceramic dishes with lids, suggests Joel Tickner, a researcher and doctoral candidate studying environmental hazards at the University of Massachusetts. "I won't microwave plastic," he says."
