    Yep we've ditched the plastic microwave stuff years ago - we have a few pyrex casserole type dishes in various sizes and use those instead. Alternatively you could try one of those steamer saucepans (with the layers) and cook several things at once.

    Yep pretty much what MaryDean said. If we need to use the microwave we try to use microwave safe ceramic or pyrex, or transfer to a microwave safe bowl/plate.
    They have those pyrex glass dishes with lids now, they are pretty cool.

    Otherwise a steamer is a good idea, and then freeze any leftover in ice cube trays to pop out a defrost for a quick meal later?

    I never use plastic... not worth the chance.

    Sometimes I just use a bowl with a small plate on top if it's only a small amount, otherwise a small cassarole dish and lid.
