I use a piece of plastic wrap that I either vent or poke holes in.

I never use anything with it's own lid or cover still on it.

I use a collapsible plate/dish cover in the microwave. I rise it after every use and put it back in the microwave.

I also use vented Sistema bowls in the microwave.

That shouldn't happen if the container is properly vented. Are you loosening the lid before cooking?

If you do want covers, I recommend the Nordic Ware covers. I have two sizes to fit over different containers and plates. Got them from Walmart.

I'd rather not use plastic covers when reheating items as they tend to warp. I never had any blow off. I usually cover the bowl with a plate and that works well.

I use the plastic covers and have never had one blow off or warp. I've heard you shouldn't use plastic wrap because of the chemicals in it.

I use paper towels.

Then I leave the door open, or wipe the moisture out, so it does not prematurely rust the oven.

Years ago I bought a vented heavy duty plastic cover online. Works like a charm.

Hi, goldensrbest -- about six months ago I picked up a magnetic splatter cover on Amaz*n called 'Hover Cover.' I really luv how it hangs from the ceiling of the microwave oven so it is always available but never in the way. It cleans off easily when needed, I think the vents help minimize the major cooking explosions lol. I also have spotted it at Bed Bath & B*yond in case you would like to see it before you buy it.

I use L&L so I have covers for the microwave. I have had good luck with an ordinary paper plate over the top of the food. Works every time.

This is what I use, too. Except that it was just a set of three back when I bought it. I throw it into the dishwasher to clean.

If you are reheating something in the microwave and it actually blows the cover off you have it in for too long and its too hot. Microwave in 30 second intervals and you won't get anything blowing off and messing up the inside.

They work great. It sticks to the inside top of the microwave. When I need to cover something, it's always available. Then I rise it out and stick it back up inside the microwave.

A warning though. For some reason it didn't stick to my daughter's microwave. It does stick to mine and is very convenient.

I bought that at Bed Bath & Beyond. It seemed like a great idea. But I ended up returning it because it didn't stick to the inside top of my microwave, which made it just another cover.

I currently use a set of plastic vented covers in various sizes. No warping, no blowing off, no problems ever.
