I hate the splatters, but also I feel like it keeps food from becoming dry as it heats, since it keeps steam in. I could be making that up, but it makes sense to me, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cover-your-food-when-you-microwave-it#post-424539 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 08:40:37 +0000 heartonastring 424539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, otherwise DH (the neat freak) accuses me of dirtying the microwave! I won't use plastic in the microwave, so I just cover whatever I'm heating with an upside down salad plate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cover-your-food-when-you-microwave-it#post-424521 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 08:22:01 +0000 PrincessBaby 424521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I hate a splattered microwave! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cover-your-food-when-you-microwave-it#post-424500 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 07:49:15 +0000 SugarplumsMom 424500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, we have a plastic dome cover thing with holes on it.

So I just make sure it doesn't get dirty, and ever since DH moved in, he does the same. I used his parents' microwave the other day and wanted to barf...there is so much splattery crap everywhere in it! DH said it never occurred to him to cover food when microwaving until he saw me do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cover-your-food-when-you-microwave-it#post-424035 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 22:24:05 +0000 autumnlove 424035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: same here!
