Sufficient Life
Since my participation on this site has increased my awareness about waste, I looked at the half-emptied canning jar of spaghetti sauce and the not used up pot of spaghetti and thought "why dirty another storage container?" So I put the leftovers together and put it in the fridge. So far so good.
But when I went to re-heat the leftovers, I put the jar directly into the microwave and heated it.
The jar did not crack but I'm thinking it might sooner or later as the mouth of the jar got pretty hot while the bottom and contents too longer to warm up. I'm thinking this difference in temperature might cause the jar to crack or maybe explode.
Anyone ever tried this and had a problem?
