Yes but you need to be careful in case what is in the bowl gets hot enough to melt the bowl.
Generally speaking plastic is fine but it should be correct microwave cookware. There is some discussion about chemicals from plastic containers (such as margerine or ice cream containers) being absorbed by the food inside. To be sure use proper microwave cookware
It is generally safe to use microwave-safe plastic bowls in the microwave. However, make sure the bowl is labeled specifically as microwave-safe to prevent any potential risks of chemicals leaching into your food. It is recommended to avoid using non-microwave-safe plastic containers in the microwave.
Any bowl that isn't metal, you could use clay or glass.
You can use a microwave-safe cover, a microwave-safe paper towel, or a microwave-safe plate to cover bowls in the microwave and reduce splatter. Avoid using plastic wrap or metal containers.
A person can use plastic bowls that come with microwaves when warming food in a microwave. Metal can not be used in microwaves, because it can cause the microwave to catch fire.
It is not safe to heat food in plastic bags in a microwave since they can release harmful chemicals into your food when heated. It is recommended to use microwave-safe containers or cover your food with a microwave-safe cover or paper towel instead.
NO
Microwaves definitely speed up this long process, but they can destroy a lot of the nutrients and you just don't get the same crispy skin in the microwave.
It depends on the container. Most of them will have a label, either on packaging or on the container itself, saying whether or not it is suitable for use in a microwave. If you can't find this label, it's usually best not to risk it as it can damage your microwave if it melts or bursts. --------------------------------- Although there are many "microwave-safe" plastic containers on the market, there are some who believe cooking with plastic (any plastic) poses a threat to your health. It is generally safer to cook your food in a ceramic or glass container when using a microwave. If you have any doubts, then just use non-plastic containers. It won't break the plastic companies banks if you switch to glass or ceramic dishes (there are plenty of other uses for plastic). One thing you should never do is reuse plastic containers that are from TV dinners, microwave pasta bowls, that sort of thing ... since those plastics are designed for a one-use only. It's best to stay away from those dinners anyway. If you're heating up coffee or a baby bottle full of milk in the microwave ... please use a glass or ceramic container for those as well. What you should not do is listen to CEOs or lawyers of plastic companies. I like plastic for many things, but heating plastic for cooking food ... I don't trust that.
to stop food splattering all over microwave
Yes you can
You can put plastic in a microwave oven; many microwave-safe containers are made of plastic, and most plastic cling-wraps are suitable for microwave use. Some plastic bags are fine for using in the microwave oven. If in doubt about any type of plastic, read the data on the packaging or check with the manufacturer or retailer.
