No, it is not safe to put cling film (also known as plastic wrap or saran wrap) in the microwave. Cling film is made from plastic, typically polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) or low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and when exposed to high heat, it can melt or release harmful chemicals into your food.
Microwaving cling film can cause the plastic to melt onto the food or create holes and tears in the wrap, potentially leading to leaks and uneven cooking. Moreover, when plastic wrap is heated, it may release harmful substances like phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA) into your food, which can be harmful to your health.
To safely microwave food, it's best to use microwave-safe containers, glass dishes, or ceramic plates with microwave-safe covers or lids. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for the containers you use in the microwave to ensure safe cooking and reheating of your food.
