The product, in the report: 65 s.f. of Durable Wax Paper, made by Durable Packaging Intl. of Wheeling, IL 60090, distributed by Greenbrier Intl., Inc. of Chesapeake VA 23320.
I purchased some wax paper at the Dollar Store ( 65 s.f. of Durable Wax Paper, distributed by Greenbriar Intl., Inc., of Chesapeake, VA 23320) and today I used it, as advertised on the box, for microwaving. I wanted to reheat a slab of baked tofu and some broccoli florets, so I placed them on a plate ([REDACTED]) and covered them with a sheet of the waxed paper, setting the MW for one minute on 70% power. Imagine my surprise when I smelled something burning - sure enough, I looked in the MW and the waxed paper was pretty much ashes all over my food. The food, however, was just fine, warm enough to eat but not burned itself or even piping hot. I think this stuff is dangerous. I don’t know why it flamed out like that, and I can’t remember it ever having done that before, but if it advertises itself as microwavable, it needs to hold to that standard.
Report Update 09/25: Consumer states via email update “I now believe the wax paper got caught underneath the turntable of the microwave. The food was rotated but the paper was not and so it burned.”
