Do not use straw, wicker or wooden containers in your microwave."
Bottom line, if you REALLY want to microwave something in styrofoam, check for the magic words "microwave safe." If it's not there, take the extra few minutes to put the food/liquid into something else before nuking it.

Styrofoam is the brand name of a plastic product (yes, Styrofoam is a kind of plastic) whose generic name is polystyrene. The white foam used, for example, in hot beverage drinking cups (Styrofoam proper) isn’t the only kind of polystyrene used for food: Clear plastic “clamshell” containers are also made of polystyrene.
Contrary to popular belief, some Styrofoam and other polystyrene containers can safely be used in the microwave. Just follow the same rule you follow for other plastic containers: Check the label.
