By now we should all realize that "microwave plastic" is problemmatic. The food being cooked absorbs molecules from the plastic wrap. Just cover the dish with a ceramic plate. It works beautifully and you're not impacting your families' hormonal balance or the environment.

Anyone know if microwaving like this will get rid of the bitterness the same way blanching does? Bitter greens are my favorite, but broccoli rabe has proven to be too much for me unblanched.
