I keep butter/margarine lids from the large tubs of margarine we buy and poke about five holes in the top to use as a splash guard for my tomato soup when I heat it in the microwave. I never put it in there for over one and a half minutes. It keeps the splashes from the tomato soup from getting on the inside of the microwave oven.

This is a great idea however, I shy away from using plastic in the microwave. When I heat food in the microwave, I use my dishes such as a cereal bowl and a saucer to cover the food. I really don't mind washing dishes but I do hate cleaning a splattered microwave, especially when it could have been avoided. Covering the food really makes a difference.
