People are also more aware of plastics in their food and using plastic tupperware in the microwave might add a large amount of plastic to the food [1]. Due to this I also switched to glass containers, which are also easier to clean.

Nobody sane microwaves their food in plastic containers. They are used only for storage and transportation.
Wish my neighbours and relatives would listen - tell them that and they are quick to pick one of those plastic containers, flip it, and point to the text at the bottom that says "Microwave Safe". (And I am talking about no-name, cheap brands that are probably from China).
This isn't true, and certainly wasn't for most of the 20th century.

You'd be suprised by the amount of people who haven't got the memo.
