ABS can take sustained heat up to 190 degrees F, (after that it will soften.
boil a brick and you will get a mess) but I doubt the food gets that hot.
Maybe. One of my pink plates was not just warped, it was bent in half at a 90
degree angle. The stress marks in the plastic show that the bending took place
after it was formed. I attrubute that to handling. However, if handling was
bad enough that i got a completely bent plate, it could possibly cause warped
(slightly bent) one too. happily, I bent it back and its almost as good as
new.
