Ravioli Fiascos
If you've ever had children, babysat children or lived on a college dorm budget, you've probably experienced this story for yourself.
It seems that there is a strange sadistic relationship between that of ravioli and microwave. Much thought and planning must be strategically rehearsed before the marriage of the two. Reason being that ravioli sauce is prone to splatter when introduced to the waves of radiation induced during the heating process.
If you use a piece of tupperware, the lid and bowl will take on the oils and color of the ravioli sauce. This is, at best, a reason to use disposible tupperware during preparation. At worst, you have orange stained residue permanently scarred into your "re-sealable" container. In addition, should you make the mistake of actually sealing the container, it will, most likely, pop open to offer the splatterings of sauce through out your microwave oven.
Clean up then becomes an entirely laborious effort using grease dissolving cleanser to erradicate the leftover materials. Otherwise, you more or less shmear the grease throughout your oven's interior.
Another tactic might include the covering with a paper towel. This can be altogether madly frustrating should the towelette remove itself during the spinning to the carriage amidst the cooking process.
However, a folding paper napkin can be an alternative. Yet, it to has it's disadvantages. An unfolded napkin corners off four escape routes to the splattering. This is only somewhat effect as it allows slight room for penetration of a foregone, complete seal of quarantine.
It is unclear to me why a delectable and inexpensive treat should become such a complicated process.
There appears to be few conclusive approaches. Perhaps the edication of one lone "corningware" bowl with an orange stained top and pressure release valve. This bowl should be labeled not by letter, but simply by stain.
Otherwise, one should explore the microwavable Mac n' Cheese... not that this product isn't shy of its own share of challenges and limitations.

This is may have been what pyrex was invented for.
Although I would stay away from radiated food entirely.
