I kept my old tray and use it to cover bowls of food I place in the microwave instead of using plastic wrap. It works well on all sizes of bowls.

I use the one from our old MW for pizza. I use it to get the pizza out of the oven and use it as the cutting/serving plate. It is perfect

They say, as long as food doesn't touch it while microwaving it's ok, but it just feels wrong for me

That’s one of the main things it’s used for. Tinfoil for oven, plastic wrap for microwave.

I do it daily. I eat rice every day so I cook a big batch and then freeze it in portions in plastic wrap. Then I can just microwave a portion and have rice ready in a couple of minutes

You would cover things with plastic wrap when reheating them in the microwave? What a waste of plastic. You know there exist dedicated items to cover your food with in like every microwave. Even if yours doesn’t have one, they’re a couple dollars from a home goods store or smth and you don’t have to throw it out 30 seconds later.

Why do you think buying more wasteful plastic is a better solution? If you don't have an extra microwave tray, just use a microwavable plate to cover the food. You've likely already have them.

They work terribly for covering plates though
