Is wax paper better than plastic wrap in a microwave?
I would advice against using Wax paper in a microwave. The wax would easily melt when heated up by the waves. Wax would blend in with the food and then you eat it. Not sure if eating wax is harmful in any way, but I imagine there being certain additives to it like anti fungal chemicals. Probably not very harmful in small quantities but still.. Plastic wrap, if choosing the right type, does not give off chemicals to the food.
