    What kind of psycho microwaves plastic anyway? Even if it isn’t releasing potentially toxic crap, the plastic gets hotter than the food. I’m not risking my hand melting off for a crappy Hot Pocket.

      Some do, some don’t. Some ceramics get hot enough to crack, while others don’t heat at all. It depends on the material the container is made of.

      Rubbermaid plastic containers microwave brilliantly and have steam escapes but prevent splashing and they are the same things used to store in the fridge so there’s no transfering involved. I don’t find that they get all that hot either.
