I've always found it counterintuitive to use any kind of plastic for cooking. I don't trust these silicone baking molds either. And: plastic containers don't belong in the microwave.
Always stick to wood, metal and glass/ceramics in the kitchen!
Another bad plastic item for the kitchen: plastic cutting boards. If you look at them up close, you can see that every time you cut on them with a sharp knife, lots of small micro plastic pieces are cut off.
Ugh, at this point I'm resigned to the fact that there's always going to be something.
Notwithstanding their impressive feats for the time, Ancient Romans had lead pipes for example.
Today we have microplastics (and some lead issues still, too, from lead solder, etc.) Among other things.
Tomorrow, it'll be something like nanites accumulating in our body, or gamma radiation exposure from faulty shielding in whatever spacecraft futurehumans are flying in.
Plastic cutting boards are sadly the cheaper and less work requiring option for restaurants/ larger kitchens. Wood just doesn't survive going through an industrial dishwasher that many times and nobody is going to hand wash 10+ wood boards a day. I haven't properly looked into what plastic our kitchen's plastic boards are, but it seems to be more durable than the usual home ones.
I made the mistake of buying a plastic cutting board exactly one time lol
