Microwave

Hi guys.

I've just got a microwave after the male in the hosue kept nagging at me for one. Must admit they are handy but had never needed one before he came along *grin*

Anyway, what do you use as a cover for food that you put in there to stop it spitting all over the inside? What is safe?

I just use paper towels... . . :-)

you can but plate covers, that are sort of vented. I never use glad wrap

Thanks guys.

I thought Happy Wrap may have melted, Tin Foil wouldn't be suitable in there and thought maybe paper towels would catch fire ... obviously they don't though haha.

Timturtle, can you (or someone else) tell me more about these vented plates?

bekybiscuit, to see the type of plate cover as referred to by timturtle and described by red2, have a look at:-

and, if you have a Countdown supermarket nearby, have a look there - I'm sure I've seen the plate covers there too. :-))

Sorry didn't know you had asked a question re the covers. They can be bought from Payless plastic, K-Mart, Countdown. Ware houseetc.

If you can take one of your plates with you and check the fitting of it, as they do vary in size
