Default What do you guys use for a lid in the microwave?

I found some things that looked like clear plastic shower caps in Mom's
pantry. What the heck? I finally figured out they were plastic covers
for plates and bowls for microwaving food.

I never used the plastic covers. I never saw Mom using them, either.
Depending upon what I'm reheating, the food is generally already in a
covered dish (Corningware). If it's a plate of food I'll put a paper
towel over it if it is something that might spatter.
