Answers:
i wouldnt use it...styrofoam can be toxic when it is burned or heated and the toxins can leak into your food...i wouldnt do it. thats why most take out boxes say "do not reheat in this container"

Other Answers:
NO!
not really, it sometimes burn in the microwave, i tried it and it burned
It's been said that it's dangerous, like cancerous even. But it's still a theory, just to be safe though, I'd reconsider.
NOOOOOOOO,it melts and it also stinks really bad
No its not safe. But releasing CFC's straight to the Ozone is always fun!
It usually melts.
Yes and No because they plate may melt if you leave it in the microwave too long.
Styrofoam is EXTREMELY dangerous in the microwave. The styrofoam has some chemicals and when heated, makes a very hazardous odor. For example, when clay is put in to the kiln to cook, the chemicals of the clay that make the clay hard releases and odor that is bad and is potentially dangerous.
it will burn.
No, not only can it melt but it releases harmful chemicals when heated. Also, the food doesn't taste great in styrofoam containers when heated. If I have leftover takeout food in these containers, I put them in a plastic container.
