Oh, and off topic tick - if you ever want to put a link in a post, copy the website address you want to link to, type the text you want to appear in the message, highlight it, click on the blue & green globe icon with a chain by it (just next to to the indent button) and past the website address in the box that pops up.
Any questions, just post back
Thanks all

Re: Are paper coffee cups microwaveable ?
These might be better (and safer in the long run)
As I understand things you want to take a tin of soup to work, heat it in a "former" coffee paper cup in the microwave and use the lid supplied to prevent spillage on the way back to your desk?

Spot on. I could heat it up in a proper microwave bowl and transfer to a thermos for the perilous journey back to desk ... but that means 2 lots of washing up ....

the more I think about this, the less I like it - if the paper cup did crumple with hot soup in, it would be messy and potentially scalding hot (hard to predict, microwaves, they are )
- how about fresh soups, sold already in a plastic container?

Good idea.
Also why not use a plastic bowl with a lid and dont transfer it to an ordinary bowl. You can even get glass bowls with plastic lids if it is the plastic taste that worries you.

I was thinking along those lines... Just get a tupperware bowl with lid. Open the tin in the morning (or at your desk), transfer the contents to the bowl, heat that and eat from the tupperware bowl...
