Microwave vacuum trouble

When I reheat last nights curry in a microwave and cover it in clingfilm, the moment I take it out, the clingfilm tightly covers all the crevices and projections of the curry's surface. It is as if there is a vacuum inside. How can this be? Surly nothing has left the covered bowl.

P.S. while the curry in in the microwave the water evapourates and causes the clingfilm to bulge, but when I take it out and the water condenses, there is less pressure inside than before I heated it.

About Microwaves

UV rays do damage to the body and visible light does not. Microwaves have a lower frenquency than visible light so therefore carry less energy and should do less damage do our bodies. So why is there the protective screen on microwave ovens and why are they the waves of choice to heat food?

Does ten seconds in a microwave oven provide twice as much heating as five seconds, or is there a 'warm-up' period?
