I have a love/hate relationship with my microwave. I cannot reheat in
Gladware/Tupperware because they melt while I am not watching.
I use glass, corelle and corning ware with and without covers depending
on the situation. I also use low power and start/stop techniques. Oddly
enough, the micowave makes great meatloaf if you use a glass bunt pan.
