Does anyone know if Tupperware fumes are toxic???

Hubby says that the Smoke Detector
is not there to tell me dinner is ready!

Hubby be right on!

Heating (or Burning) Tupperware, or any other Plastic item, to a high enough
temperature that it gives off fumes or an odor ~ releases a whole chemical lab of strange and often dangerous chemical mutations - aka Bad Stuff!

MOST Plastics are stable and harmless at room temperatures, but above 125* to 150*
(degrees F) - they start to break down into often unknown and hazardous gases and fumes.

A FEW plastics are designed for high temperature use (cooking or baking) -
but they are always marked as being safe to a specified temperature.
The average Tupperware item is NOT safe at stove-top temperatures.

Thanks Fire Marshall Phred. This type of tupperware IS okay for the oven and microwave, but not on the burners.
