  1. Babyfood containers are NSF plastic meant to be microwavable
  2. They only tested babyfood containers and a pouch
  3. these containers are made out of the same plastics used in many microwaveable products

I'm not microwaving plastic ever again.

My kids are past baby stage. But I’m borderline ready to go to glass/ceramic and stainless only

Unfortunately my wife really likes nonstick too. I do make a habit of ditching any pan or pot with any blemish/chip. But still I’d prefer stainless there too.

Chipping isn't that big a deal with nonstick. Overheating is the real danger. You should never let it it 500F. Also, once it starts to become discolored it should be disposed of.
