What type pf containers can food be warmed in? Does it take a variety of shapes, sizes and materials, e.g. glass, plastic.

The type of containers you can use for warming food depends where you are planning to warm the food. If you are using a microwave, then you have to ensure that you have a container which is Microwave proof for sure. Avoid using plastic containers (the new ones which are microproof are fine) in either the oven or the microwave as they are going to get twisted and warped. Thin glass containers and the older glass containers are usually oven proof and can survive a couple of minutes in the microwave but avoid taking such risks as you might end up with a cracked container, a shot microwave and no baby food for the baby! Nowadays, most containers boldly specify their utility and oven and microwave proof are within the first ten characteristics. In order not to have to keep watching your containers, it is recommended that you buy microwavable bakeware to ensure you dont face any issues when warming.
