| Apr 1, 2021 at 11:46 | comment | added | Nzall | @ChrisH the melting was a hole the size of a tablespoon where it appeared an entire section of the cover was just gone, with the edges being bent downwards. I'll see if I can find a picture of the melted cover. I know I took one, but I need to find it on my phone. | |
| Apr 1, 2021 at 11:32 | comment | added | Nzall | @moscafj I'm talking about something similar like this: dunelm.com/product/good2heat-microwave-plate-cover-1000071816. Something you can place over a plate/bowl/dish in order to keep any accidentally splatters from hitting the side and top of your microwave and leaving a mess to clean up. | |
| Apr 1, 2021 at 11:02 | comment | added | Chris H | How much melting? Were they touching food (or even getting more than normally splashed/splashed with hot fat)? | |
| Apr 1, 2021 at 10:52 | comment | added | moscafj | A picture of your container might help. Are you describing the kind of quart containers that you get from take out restaurants? While the container itself does fine in the microwave, the tops will melt. | |
