Bread – Heating bread in the microwave oven and wetting

breadmicrowavereheating

I have a problem when heating bread in the microwave oven. I place it on the glassy rotated bed of the oven, it get heated very well, but there is a lot of moisture are formed at the bottom of the bread (the contact between the glass and it).

How could I eliminate this wetting effect?

There are two main strategies I employ to combat sweating in the microwave.

Microwave the item in short intervals, rotating in between each round. This will help steam dissipate rather than collect on the glass. Using a lower power might also help the item heat more evenly and lose less water.

Place a paper towel or tea towel under the item. This will collect the moisture so it doesn't pool and make things soggy.
