Does Cooking In A Non- Microwaveable Container Has Harmful Effects?

I cooked a burger in a non-microwaveable container. The plastic melted around it, but I ate it regardless. There was no plastic on the burger that I could see, and it smelled fine, so I just thought it would be okay.

I am now worrying about what I've done! I feel okay, but I had a bit of a weird taste and worry about the chemicals in my body poisoning me.

Will I be okay?

hai,
regarding your query,
Yes of course it will affect your health. In long term usage it affect you.
regarding your concern one time incidentally/unknowingly done. that will not affect much seriously.

Plastic fumes/debris containing the chemical will deposit in the food particle while you heat .ultimately food will get mixed with that chemicals as well.

So don't repeat the same.it is harmful.

stay healthy.

Thank you
