Do containers used for microwave cooking get hot? Explain (include appropriate containers that may be used for microwaving)

Wax paper, paper plates, or towels are suitable for shorter heating periods. Inappropriate microwave cooking materials include foil, metal (metal-rim dishes or cookware), fragile glass, plastic tubs, and Styrofoam.
