The internet doesn't help.

Wtf is that?

It feels plasticky and hard. But I don't think it's happy to see me since it's broken in half and I probably did it when cleaning it.

If you help me figure out what it is, I will clean my microweave in return.

Edit: It's a Mica cover. TIL.

Microwaves heat up water molecules inside the food you’re heating. But there’s a limit to how even it can heat. Covering food helps capture the water molecules that end up as steam, which in turn helps everything heat up more evenly.

Helps…. yes, but it ain’t magic. Also you may prefer all or some foods drier. You do you!
