How do you prevent spaghetti sauce from splattering all over the inside of the microwave?
Whenever I heat up spaghetti in the microwave, I end up with droplets of the sauce splattered all over. Should I cover it, and if so, with what?

Warm it up in a bowl and use saran wrap with a hole poked in the middle or a napkin.
If you warm it up on a plate, the saran wrap will melt to the spaghetti and the napkin will cook into it.
You never want the cover to touch the food, just cover the bowl and have a vent hole with saran wrap.

Yes, this happens all the time if you don't cover something in the microwave, especially something messy like spaghetti! Here's what to do, just cover it with a paper towel or paper plate and you are good to go. Covering it prevents messes and also keeps the moisture in!

Keypointist is ideal. it truly is that vapor escaping by ability of the thick sauce. to keep it from splattering so undesirable, rub a touch butter, margarine or oil alongside the interior the pot or pan from the proper part to easily above the position the sauce is cooking. The sauce ought to simmer only to the "butter line" and no added.

I don't like using plastic wrap in the microwave, so I use cheap paper plate to cover a bowl or plate. Coffee filters work well, too.

I cover everything with a paper towel. Also easy way to clean it-bowl of water and tbsp of lemon juice. Heat for one minute and wipe the inside.

Personally...I think the saran wrap would melt in your microwave.I usually just use a paper towel..That works good for me or a microwavable lid place loosely on the plate.

I place the sauce in a bowl and then place the bowl into a gallon size ziploc bag. DO NOT close the bag.
Heat the sauce.
Remove the bowl from the microwave.
Remove the bag from around the bowl and discard the bag.
Works every time.
