Make sure that the plastic you use in microwaves is microwave-safe. Better still, use glass bowls. How often have we heard that something that was declared 'safe' is no longer safe because of new research? Glass is safest - its melting point is well above 2000F. So while I thank you for this tip, I'd say you have a lot of readers giving you one more tip! Take heed! Better to have to wash the glass bowl than have your insides messed up :-D The same thought went through my mind about the plastic bags.

Here is a link that describes the dangers of using plastics: http://www.fda.gov/Fdac/features/2002/602_plastic.html The last paragraph contains examples of plastics that are safe to use. Alternatively, you can use a microwavesafe bowl, fill it up with a 1cm of water and poke holes in the arvi/potato and cook as usual. I would just like to add that not all plastics are food safe.

But the only question is- are the plastic bags, MW safe. I would expect them to melt and stick to the vegetable??? Any suggestion? That is a very useful tip.
