I zap my kitchen sponges to heat them as well; any odors are removed.
What dishes does everyone use to microwave? I prefer hard plastic over glass due to lighter weight, but my old Tupperware sets have developed internal cracks and may not be long for this world. The material in the newer plastic ones seems to be too soft and they'll bubble from the heat.

I wasn't trying to be healthy but used to put a paper towel under microwave popcorn bags because the oil drips out a bit. The paper towels were getting scorched so I thought I'd use a cotton dish towel instead.
Huh. That scorched as well.
I threw the ruined towel into the kitchen trash. A while later I smelled burning and saw that smoke was pouring out of the trash can. I lifted the lid -- dish towel was actively on fire. Put it in the kitchen sink under the faucet. All was well but the house was seriously full of smoke.
