Cathy told me that when Al microwaves something that is potentially going to splatter, he covers the dish with a paper towel and a regular plate. I was all 'that's not really amazing because I already cover my bowl with a paper plate and stuff still splatters everywhere' and sort-of ignored her. Until the other day when I was melting my microwaving nemesis butter - for real, why does it go from solid to exploding in like .0001 second? ARGH - and it occurred to me that if I followed Al's tip and top my paper plate with an actual plate (a) the regular plate won't fly off like a paper plate does and (b) I won't have to clean the plate from splatters because the paper plate is protecting it. Ah ha! Al - you're a genius!
little side note: I don't use a paper towel because I feel like it absorbs the melted butter instead of just shielding it like a paper plate does...
