Is it safe to microwave styrofoam?
Freezing styrofoam won't do anything, but you should not microwave styrofoam. It can release harmful toxins, and can also alter the flavor of your food. Nice ChaCha!

About Styrofoam
The word Styrofoam is usually used as a generic term for expanded polystyrene foam, like disposable coffee cups, disposable coolers, packing materials, etc. This type of polystyrene is largely not bio-degradable and can remain intact for thousands of years. The Styrofoam used for crafts is sort of soluble in organic solvents.
