Cooking and reheating food in the microwave can be timesaving, but if it's not done properly the results can be a disaster. I have a tips that might help. Use damp/wet paper towels to cover your dishes.

Cooking hot dogs - lay the hotdogs on a microwave safe dish and cover with a wet paper towel. They cook evenly with no hard overcooked ends.

Heating Buns - Use a damp paper towel over the opt of your buns. Again, they heat evenly with no overcooked outside edges.

Heating Rice & Pasta - Wet paper towel over the top while heating.

Cooking Potatoes - Puncture each potato several times and wrap in a wet paper towel. Check about half way through cooking to see if towel needs to be re-wet.

Reheating Meats - Lay a damp paper towel over meat while heating.

As you can see, the damp/wet paper towel works on just about anything you want to heat or cook in the microwave. Give it a try the next time you use your microwave to see how well this little trick works.
