What To Do With Outter Lettuce/Cabbage Leaves

I just read this tip in one of my hand-me-down magazines. It may have been in Bon Appetite or Food & Wine. I did this while reheating our corned beef and cabbage leftovers in the microwave:

Tip: Use the big outter leaf/ves of your lettuce or cabbage head to cover food in the microwave. It saves paper (sometimes I use a paper towel) and it's probably much more safe than using a plastic cover of some sort. I liked using the cabbage leaf since it's so durable. I was able to wash it off like I wash my veggies and fruit (with diluted white vinegar), kept it in the 'frige and could reuse once or twice.

How cool and green is that?
