I saw a guy undercook his steak, it was practically raw. And the outside was burnt to a crisp. I'm actually impressed he managed to get the outside black and the inside bright pink, bleeding all over his plate.

The point of such devices are to lock in the moisture of food you might heat up in the microwave. Not just to serve as a cute hat for your food as it spins around in the hot machine

Yea OP, what is the problem? Why is it idiotic someone doesn't like to have spattering food in their microwave? Also, it would hold in the steam during carryover cooking.

Seems dumb to use them with a plate instead of a bowl. With a bowl, mug, or similar the cover actually encloses the food completely. With a plate you have a gap around the perimeter where food can still splatter.

I also don't see the point in buying throwaway crap for this purpose when you could just put a 2nd plate upside down over the top of your bowl.

....or not being a retard with microwave settings and avoid splatter being generated in the first place.

That apartment was hell, fuck those guys. We also got cockroaches because of their filthy habits. Hope they get cancer from their burnt box ink pizzas.

New to the concept of food? Grill is the last-place way to cook steaks.

I guess you're being humorous, but I thought those plastic things are simply washable splatter guards. You can tell a lot about people by the state of the inner surfaces of their microwaves.

If you keep your toilet bowl clean you can drink out of it. Dogs drink out of mine all the time.

Right. But:
1) They don't work well on a flat plate. Use them with a bowl instead.
and
2) Why buy something for this purpose when you can just use a spare plate?

I have to say, yes, dumb and third world people, either/or, people with no home training, or with extreme cheapness and poverty, will do stupid things.
At some point, it has to bother you when you can't have people over to your place because of rotting garbage smell, in the sink and in the kitchen. I get your standoff, because it comes from a place of parent-child dysfunction, sibling rivalry and other things you should have grown past (and mind you, them too). But, at the same thing you were never part of any solution.

Solutions:
1) Buy $2 worth of paper plates at Walmart. 500 paper plates solves a year of microwave issues, from bacon, from splatters, from no clean plate to use, let's use a pizz-box uncovered ideology.
2) Never having a showdown about it all. Passive aggressive. You fucking clean that shit up, or I'm getting you evicted, reported and shamed. I have no problem advertising for a new roommate, breaking a lease, reporting you to the property owner, the school, etc etc. You will clean your shit up. You WILL do it at least twice a week. You will NOT cook food in this kitchen if you haven't cleaned your last mess up.
3) I would mess up their shit by calling their families. Yes. I would call and describe the disgusting nature of their pig lifestyle, and let their parents guilt them out. And, let them know if it keeps up, if you have to call their families or spread gossip about their slovenliness, reporting them to the health department, that they would be paying YOUR fees for breaking the lease, or else paying for weekly bug extermination and maid service. They can start coughing up $400/mo for the privilege of someone else cleaning up after them, or Mom can come and do their dishes, laundry, clean microwaves, etc on Saturdays. BE INFURIATED and get your point across. The only authority for manchildren or princesses, is the person who has authority over their money. No one else.

How often do you have food shoot out sideways when you microwaving it? placing on of those on top works fine.
