Question from Patricia Hetzler
My husband recently bought a new microwave. The only plastic parts are the door. It has a strong plastic smell when it heats up that gives me a headache. What can I do to speed up the outgassing?And no, my husband can’t live without his microwave, so giving it up isnot a possibility.
Thanks
Pat

Heat speeds the outgassing of plastic.
But I can’t post this without commenting that you and your husband would be much better off to not eat microwaved food. See if you can wean him from it by giving him foods cooked on the stove or in the oven, or raw.
