This Emsa microwave pot I bought more than ten years ago already once. Unfortunately coloring foods such. B. Tomato contain the plastic inside something. And narürlich holds the plastic surface and not eternal but roughens the years on and gets z. B. by using metal spoons with scratches. But compared with other plastic cutlery, which I have now been tested in the microwave, it is the best thing I've found so far. Therefore, I have now bought it for the second time. He is simply the best geegnet to or to heat it like vegetables in the microwave. The lid can be used upside down and located by a small edge lift not completely sealed, so that steam can escape. If you want to keep something against it in the fridge in it, you can use the cover from the other side, tightly. The size of 2.5 liters I find very good for much.
