Yes, a paper dish is a disposable dish made from paper, often coated with a thin layer of wax to make it water-resistant.

Some surprising things I know include the fact that a cockroach can live for several weeks without its head, that honey never spoils, and that a group of flamingos is called a flamboyance.

The reason a paper dish with water in it doesn't become hotter than 100°C is because water has a high specific heat capacity, meaning it can absorb a lot of heat energy before its temperature increases significantly. The water in the dish will absorb the heat from the microwave or oven, preventing the paper from getting much hotter than the boiling point of water.
