Accidentally microwaved my Tupperware with the lid on ð
I wasn't thinking and put my Tupperware in the microwave, and then I heard a weird noise. Turns out I microwaved it with the lid on... It was tough, but here are some potential ways to fix it. â Reheat in the microwave for just about 10-20 seconds with the lid still on. You might need to heat it a bit longer, so try adjusting the time. Reason: The air and moisture inside the container will warm up and expand, equalizing the pressure and allowing the lid to open. â¡ If your container has a vent or steam hole on the lid, open or remove the valve. Reason: Air can enter through the gap, resolving the pressure difference. ⢠Gently lift the edge of the lid with your finger, or carefully insert something thin like a toothpick or skewer into the gap between the lid and the container. Reason: Same as â¡. Caution: Avoid trying to pry it open forcefully with a spoon or knife, as this could damage the plastic or cause injury. ⣠Submerge the entire container (especially around the lid) in water around 50-60°C (122-140°F) for a few minutes. Reason: Warming it from the outside will heat and expand the air inside.

I microwaved a lid that shouldn't have been microwaved, and it warped. Is there anything I can do about it?
