Am I supposed to be microwaving things with the lid on?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

The best design for microwaving is containers with a lid which has a little opening to let the steam out. Unfortunately, I haven't seen a lid that doesn't use plastic to some degree.

I really dislike food stuck to the sides and roof of the microwave, maybe I should try covering it with a plate.
