Glass is mostly transparent to microwaves, which is why all microwave ovens include glass plates.
The reason why glass vessels become hotter in a microwave oven is because glass has a much higher thermal conductivity than plastic, so it becomes heated from the hot food.
Using two pieces of cloth (e.g. cut from a small towel) to hold the hot glass vessel is enough to take it safely out of the oven and this negligible inconvenience matters much less than the undesirable effects of heating food in a plastic vessel.
Agreed. My anxiety is already so high I should probably talk to a doctor about it. I just do all my cooking with glass or steel or wood just so I can have 1 less thing to be worried about.
