These are used every day in our house. So easy to store (they scrunch to about a one-inch height), and when fully extended, the height covers anything you could place on a plate, without touching the food.At first, I had a problem using the handle on the top. Then the light bulb went on and realized that the handle isn’t needed, just hold the sides and lift the splatter cover off...easy-peasy. These are dishwasher safe as well, making them a wonderful tool for anyone who uses a microwave.

We try to reuse, recycle at our house as much as possible, but one thing we couldn't seem to get away from was using a paper towel to cover our food in the microwave. I hate the splatters and have to cook things covered, but we hated wasting a paper towel every time. I saw these and thought they were worth a try, and they have been great! They store flat, so I just keep it tucked next to the side of the microwave, pop it out and put it over the food. If the bowl is too tall, we still use this cover and just rest it on the bowl. They can be a little tough to pop open and close at first, but they loosen up as they are used. They clean up super easily. I haven't even had to run it through the dishwasher yet. I just rinse it quickly in the sink while it is still warm, and splatters come right off. Easy enough to train a husband to use these ;-)

This is the smartest thing I have bought in awhile. It can be used as a strainer in addition to keeping the microwave splatter free. I use it to rinse fruit and vegetables or to hold peels when preparing them. It functions well in the microwave and holds up to the heat. I also like having a spare too, although it appears that it is well made enough to last for quite awhile. I would definitely buy again.

Four Stars since it is likely they will be fine. However, any packages I receive these days spend at least one week in isolation - then they are disinfected and carefully opened wearing gloves. Then the contents spend another week in isolation. Some minor inconvenience, but I would rather act on the side of caution for the immediate future. Everyone be safe, we will get thru this fine if we take some simple steps to curtail the spread. Have confidence, this Nation will be fine. Help your neighbors, maybe pray if that's your desire, or just clean house - Thank You & GB..

I was using too many paper towels to cover food when microwaving meals. When I saw these lids, they seemed to be a good solution. They are easy to use - I have one open to its full height for dishes with higher sides and one half-collapsed to cover dinner plates. They are dishwasher safe in the top rack - however, I've found that both dishwasher pods and gel leave residue and the lids come out of the dishwasher with water spots. I've found it easier to hand wash them with Dawn after every use. IMO, the lids are worth the price.

First, the basics: Product arrived on time and as described. This is the second time we've purchased these microwave plate covers. We wore the first pair out through constant use. Since we started using these covers on bowls/plates we put in the microwave, the amount of "splatter" has gone down to nearly nothing. Cleaning the microwave is rarely a big deal, anymore. It may seem like a simple thing, but it's just great when such a simple solution works so well.

Overall, this is a great item to reheat food in a microwave oven. However, as some feedback has mentioned, there is inadequate depth to grasp the cover and lift it off the plate or container of food. To remedy that problem, use the following materials and steps to install Nylon hardware as an easy way to lift the cover. Nylon is both dishwasher and microwave safe. See the two attached photos for reference.For two covers, you will need a power drill, a 3/16-inch drill bit, (2) Menard's #2017761, 10-24 X 1 inch Nylon binding head machine screw; (4) Menard's #2017868, 10-24 Nylon hex nuts; 3/8-inch open-end wrench, slotted screwdriver. Total cost of the Nylon hardware is approximately $3 U.S. You may also obtain the Nylon hardware from other sources. Note the hex nut fits snugly in place between the two half-moon shaped areas.1) Fully collapse the cover, and turn it over so the bottom is facing up. 2) Place a piece of scrap wood under the cover so that when the drill bit breaks through the cover material, it will not cause damage to any underlying surface. 3) Drill a through-hole in the center of the cover and remove any burrs. 4) Thread one hex nut onto the binding head screw until it is close to the screw head. 5) Insert the screw threads through the drilled hole from the top of the cover so the threads protrude beyond the two half-moon shaped depressions on the underside of the cover. 6) Thread the second hex nut onto the exposed screw threads until about 3/16-inch of the screw threads are showing beyond the nut. 7) Orient the nut so that it just fits between the two half-moon shaped depressions, and push the bottom of the screw up between the two half-moon shaped depressions. You may need to use the screwdriver to adjust the length of the exposed screw. 8) While holding the nut and screw in place on the bottom side of the cover, thread the other hex nut down until it is snugly against the top of the cover. 9) Use the 3/8-inch open-end wrench to tighten the top hex nut. 10) To adjust the length of the screw on the top of the cover, use the wrench and screwdriver to loosen the hardware, make the adjustment, and then tighten the hardware.
