what I do for best results is put a plate upside down ontop of a bowl or something
basically you create a pressure system inside the ceramics so the steam remains inside the microwave

@kaia After the Chernobyl accident there was a joke:

Why did all the mailboxes disappear from Chernobyl?
They were taken to Poland to be used as microwave ovens.
