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.

Years ago, there were plastic covers that looked like shower caps (as you
described). They had elastic around the edges so they would grip the bowls.
However, the ones I remember were intended for storage in the refrigerator,
not heating in the microwave. In fact, I think the original versions
predated microwaves.
