I would appreciate any other suggestions you have.
Thank you.

I always cover the bowl with a towel doubled, then rise bread in the microwave (not on of course), sometimes after warming a drink or whatever helps. We used to heat our home up north solely with a woodstove in the livingroom, so used to put the covered bowl on a tray table nearby. Hope this helps.
