I've heard that you should only use this in glass or metal, as this can damage plastic. If true, how can this be safe to consume?

It's what is known as a Hot Oil. Some essential oils are hot, some are not. The oils break down the styrofoam, I've witnessed this happen. The Slim and Sassy is mainly Cinnamon and Grapefruit and other citrus based oils. It's very safe, but very strong, that's why they have you dilute them. One bottle will last you months!

Use glass only if you can find one that fits the outer container. I use mine all the time and use the plastic container and works great. If you do use a glass container, guess you could wrap the glass so it fits tightly.

I've used 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner cleaner on both plastic and acrylic. The label says it is okay to use on cured paint, vinyl or glass. I don't see any warnings about plastic or acrylic. The primary ingredients are Xylene, Ethylbenzene and Toluene and Benzene. I suspect you won't want it to sit on plastics and acrylics for a prolonged period of time. All the ingredients are pretty nasty stuff so wear gloves and protect your eyes from spray-back and use it in a very well ventilated space. I love this for removing tar, oil, etc. on vehicle paint, wheels, etc.

You really do not want to store oil long term in plastic. Plastic absorbs oil and taints the oil purity. If you have a small amber glass jar it would be better for use.

I only use a ceramic mugs. The heating element gets pretty hot, so I personally would not use a plastic container. I don't know what the ramifications are of having a metal heating element come in contact with a metal container, but there is the possibility of the metal getting hot and causing the housing to heat up, thus causing damage. I would stick to using a container that does not melt or conduct electricity. I hope my ramblings help. Be safe!

dont use it on the walls or wooden stuff, cuz air can go thru those materials, use it on glass or metal etc.

i'm not sure what you mean by safe? i've been using this brand for years. used to buy it right from a health food store, moved away, and couldn't find it until i went on line. it is in a glass jar, better than plastic. has a tight seal. has a terrific flavor.

Vivian, I am sorry but I do not have a direct answer to your question. With all the talk of toxins leaching into food, I too was wondering since I have used this for so long and it is the best when it comes to sticking to a glass bowl etc....I can offer you what is stated on the box: use microwave-safe dish, allow one inch between food and wrap, turn a corner to vent, allow steam to escape before lifting package. Polyvinyl Films, Inc., 19 epot St, Sutton MA 01590, made in USA, www.stretchtite.com and phone 508.865.3558. I hope this helps you. I too will investigate. It is the best I have ever used!

Stainless steel is the safest most inert material to use for cooking and the next best material for water bottles to glass. I would certainly choose it as an option over any plastic -- some plastics definitely leech and some have BPA. It's also better to protect your coffee beans from light.

I used it on different plastics most are safe, some are not. It is not safe on polystyrene including transparent one, I tried. Acrylic was ok, if I remember right.I love this stuff and use it extensively for different cleaning needs, not just adhesive. For example removing shoe rubber scuff marks from walls and car panels.

I have used these in the microwave once or twice without damage to the product, however I don't endorse any plastic in the microwave as it can release chemicals into the food. I typically heat up the food in a glass, metal, or ceramic container first, then move it over to the munchkin product.

I have no idea why the manufacturer chose to encase this in plastic. What I can tell you is that it works! My husband and Ihave used this product on several occasions and I can assure you it works. The heat lasts and lasts. Wonderful, wonderful!

I think it depends on what kind of glass it is. Something like pyrex would be OK, but fragile glass - maybe not so much.

I suppose it could be given it is not too full. I am sketchy about freezing anything plastic with water in it and then introducing that into water I am drinking. Too much bad is coming from plastic.
