What other cooking methods involves using plastic?

I use glass for everything microwave, not because I'm worried about plastic, but mostly because a) I have mostly glass storage containers, b) I feel that it contain the heat better, and c) they keep heat _out_ better.

The latter is probably the most important thing. Easier to handle, and have a shorter cool-down time before putting it into the fridge.
