Microwave Splatter Ventilated Cover - Microwave Cover for Foods BPA-Free, Microwave Plate Cover Guard Lid with Handle, Adjustable Steam Lids - 25 cm plate

Product Information

In testing, these often warped during cooking, and the screen discolored a bit. They aren’t as sturdy as more expensive screens, which is expected at this price point. On the plus side, the fine mesh would be great for sifting flour, and they work well for straining liquids once cooking is done. One of the most innovative features of this microwave splatter guard is the adjustable vent. You can close the vent to prevent splatters, heat the food faster, and then open the vent after heating to let steam escape safely. The Good Spreading food out on a plate is more efficient for reheating in the microwave as this allows for more even heat distribution. That’s why most microwave covers have a flat top design. For those who usually use bowls, a tall microwave cover with a dome design is better, as these models can cover the bowl without touching the food. Material

Design: Ensure these covers have a proper venting system and handle. Vents play a significant role in uniform heating of food, and the handle design adds to the convenience. Dimension: It is important to know what size you would prefer. Look for a lid that can accommodate most plates and bowls. Using reusable covers also means less waste. Instead of tossing out paper towels, wax paper, and cling wrap, which are disposable materials often used in microwaves, eco-friendly reusable covers can last for several years with frequent cleaning. Additional FeaturesWith a large handle for easy lifting, and eight evenly spaced vents in the top to release the right amount of steam without letting too much moisture escape, this plate cover is designed to ensure the best (and cleanest!) results when it comes to reheating leftovers and meals gone cold. Measuring 4.3 inches tall and 10.5 inches in diameter, the covers fit well over most plates and bowls. Rather than a finger hole or a groove, each cover features a proper handle for a more secure grip. To control steam release, the top of the cover has an adjustable steam vent. FAQs About Microwave Covers

These thin silicone mesh rounds are just the thing you need. They can drape over the top of a bowl or sit on top of a dinner plate in the microwave to contain splashes and spatter while still allowing steam out. When there’s enough material draped over the edge of a bowl, they can keep fingers safe from heat when removing the bowl from the microwave. They can also be used in a bamboo steamer basket, as a trivet, or as a grip to open jars and bottles. While these aren’t for stovetop use, we tested one briefly. While nothing untoward happened, we’d still suggest saving them for uses they’re good at. Nordic Ware is a company based in the USA, and this product is FDA-approved for microwave use. It has a small central hole on top for the steam to vent out and prevent pressure from building up inside the dome. The Bad The spacious dome design ensures that this lid fits on top of any plate or bowl and that the food inside does not touch the splatter guard’s sides.

Product Highlights

All of the splatters along the edge of the pan can’t escape at all, and the few that go straight up in the center also come straight down, so they won’t land on the cooktop. A few splashes that made it out of the hole in testing landed on the guard, so it kept the stove clean. This is made from sturdy, heat-resistant silicone and has a fold-down handle that makes storage easy. Once cooking is done, it's dishwasher safe, so cleaning is always easy.

Microwave splatters can be just as bad—or worse—than stovetop splatters since they cook onto the sides, top, and bottom of the inside of the microwave, which can be awkward and difficult to wipe clean. Unfortunately, most splatter screens made for stovetop use are either too large for the microwave, or they have enough metal to make them unsuitable for microwave use.

Unlike guards that cover the top of the pan, this won’t trap condensation, and it will come in handy when piling spinach or other greens into a pot since it can contain them neatly until they cook down to a more manageable size. A microwave cover is a worthwhile and budget-friendly kitchen accessory. It can cut down on cleanup time and improve the quality of reheated food. It is also reusable, eliminating the extra cost and wasteful use of paper towels or cling wrap. When choosing a microwave cover, consider its dimensions, material, and any additional useful functions and features. Dimensions Most splatter guards need to be removed to stir or flip the food in the pot, but the Williams Sonoma Silicone Splatter Screen lets the cook flip one side up to stir the chili while leaving the other side in place. For storage, it can be left unfolded to fit slim spaces or fold it to fit short spots. The screen is made from sturdy silicone, so it’s heat resistant and dishwasher safe. Small hand-holds on either side of the screen take less space on the stove or in storage, but it might be wise to approach them with a potholder. Not just for keeping grease from flying, this would be handy for slow-simmering a stew in a Dutch oven when a cover is too much, but the cook doesn’t want the pot completely open.
