Is It Dangerous To Eat From The Pot Which Has Melted Sides Due To Overheat?
I Cooked a processed shop bought chicken tikka masala in the oven last night in a plastic container it was stored in. The oven was too hot and melted the black storage pot round the sides I m frightened it might have now seeped into our food how dangerous would this be as we ate the tika masala. Thank you.

Hello,
Yes, it's much dangerous as plastic melted within the food. Don't store food in the plastic container, because after a long time it also contaminates food. So better to avoid. Increase in cancer cases is because of the use of plastic.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
