Babyfood containers are NSF plastic meant to be microwavable
They only tested babyfood containers and a pouch
these containers are made out of the same plastics used in many microwaveable products

I'm not microwaving plastic ever again.

My kids are past baby stage. But I’m borderline ready to go to glass/ceramic and stainless only

Unfortunately my wife really likes nonstick too. I do make a habit of ditching any pan or pot with any blemish/chip. But still I’d prefer stainless there too.

We committed to switching to stainless with an investment in a Saladmaster set. While the value of the brand is debatable the pans have been rock solid and easy to clean. It did take a bit to learn how to cook with them without sticking everything to them but it is doable. About the only thing I can't cook in them is eggs.
