I'm like this when I microwave fresh veg. I cover the bowl in plastic wrap, and when the veg are cooked I KNOW the big balloon effect is steam hotter than boiling water, and I KNOW it will burn me if I try to take the plastic off without a utensil, but I don't want that steam bubble to collapse on the veg, so I try to get just a corner off, and maybe if I ...
