Microwave Splatter Guard - Vented Glass Cover With Collapsible Silicone for Food as Pot Lid 10.8 inch for 6 7 8 9 10 inch Plate Bowl

I make oatmeal with raisins regularly in the microwave. One of the problems I had for years was oatmeal spattering as it cooked, so I started placing an appropriate-sized plate over the top.That worked great for the spattering, but it caused another issue: overboiling. This would leave a mess on the side of the bowl and, of course, the microwave turntable glass plate, which I would have to take out and clean once or twice a week. While that kept the turntable plate clean, it was pretty annoying. I then started taking another plate and putting it underneath the bowl - so a bowl, two plates, and I still had overboiling issues - plus three times the dishes!After years of being annoyed at this, I decided to do a little digging, and figure out why this was happening. Turns out, you have to vent when you cook, or you have steam build-up and that pressure eventually causes overboiling and messes.Surely I can't be the only person with this issue?Luckily, after looking on Amazon, I found this well-rated and reviewed product. Mine came with the silicone anti-scalding handle, and the screw that attaches the handle to the glass top felt almost ceramic? Not sure if that's 100% ceramic or just a coating, but it does a really good job of securing the handle to the top. Plus, it comes with a unique square installation tool which allows the ceramic screw to be lower profile than it would otherwise.I love the fact that there isn't any plastic in this: silicone and glass, plus whatever that screw is made of. I really don't like microwaving plastic, so this cover made me feel good about long-term durability and use.Best of all, it actually works!For my situation, you'll notice that the glass sits right on top of the rim of the bowl, so you have a fairly tight seal - just like I had with the plate covering I used before - but this time, the plate doesn't fall off, and there's a vent engineered not only in the sides of the silicone sides, but also in the glass top itself! The top vent is the perfect size for letting off steam, which you need during a cooking process like this. I love the glass top, too, because it allows me to see how the oatmeal is doing during the cooking process - something I could never do with my plate covering without scalding my hands.This is one of those "must have" kitchen items if you use the microwave for cooking or reheating anything! Just make sure you get the correct size for your microwave's glass plate. If you get one that's too small, your plates and bowls might not fit. If you get one that's too big, it might not fit on the microwave's glass turntable plate, causing it to not turn properly. So, simply measure."But what about plates?" you might ask. Well, we reheat all sorts of spattery things on our full-size Fiesta plates, too, and this does an even better job. Fits perfectly around the plates, creating a safe cooking enclosure, keeping the spatter inside, while also allowing for proper ventilation of steam.In the picture with the orange bowl that I showed you, you'll notice that I had it almost fully extended but not quite. I realized this after looking at the pictures here on Amazon: it has one more notch that turns it into a perfect dome! This causes the glass to fully clear my Fiesta bowl, which is exactly what I wanted. See the second picture with the (empty) red bowl. I'm sure that with extra side ventilation in play, it'll cook even better.Lastly, remember that spatter? Yeah, silicone and glass are super easy to clean! Just a little bit of hot water and a little soap made it look like brand new again.Overall, I am extremely happy with this purchase and only wish I had purchased it sooner.

great quality and size , easy to clean just throw it in the dishwasher . great handle for grabbing it when its hot. works perfect. dont buy the cheaper ones they melt ( ask me how i know )

All I can say is that this thing is awesome. It is silicone with a glass top-insert, well vented, and large enough that it runs right up to the edges of the tray in our microwave. Steam condenses in droplets on the inside top of the cover, of course, but it tends to stay there. We wipe it out periodically and keep it stored in the microwave, popping it into the dishwasher every week for a more thorough cleaning. Functionally, it’s perfect - great fit, grabs the mess, keeps our microwave clean.

Perfect size and does its job of protecting my microwave from splatters. I will say I think because it’s an added object in the microwave I have to microwave my food a little longer. Great top grip and easy to handle. Collapsable but I usually just keep it spread open.

ive used the junky all plastic ones before, the ones that feel like tupperware and end up warped. ive bought one of the ones with the "steam" portion that allows for water to be added to steam your food better but the handle broke extremely easy on that one.this one so far is extremely sturdy, nothing too flashy or fancy to compromise what its supposed to do. it being collapsable is an added bonus for storage. highly recommended item

Tried to install handle and it broke off with very little force. Cheaply made.

I got this cover to replace older plastic covers I had been using (trying to eliminate sources of microplastics). It has exceeded my expectations. It is quite large, which I wasn't sure about, but in fact it stands up over the food and protects the interior of my microwave without impinging on the food itself. It washes out easily with soap and water, although I'm sure it would do well in the dishwasher too. When not in use, it collapses flat enough to store on the top of my microwave for easy access. Definitely recommend.

It is nice quality but the black covers too much and you can't see through it while warming/cooking in the microwave. It is also kind of cumbersome to put in and take out.
