Product Review: 3-in-1: Collapsible Magnetic Microwave Cover

 

This is a collapsible food cover for the microwave. It is made out of silicon so unlike the plastic equivalents, which cannot collapse, this one can flatten down to a little thicker than a dinner plate and expand to easily cover a large bowl. And, because it is bendable, it can be used as a hot pad to grab the sides of hot bowls or plates. There is a plug at the top that can be left open to allow food to vent or be closed to allow food to steam. When it is closed, you can pour a bit of water on the top to help the steaming process. And it can easily be rinsed off or put on the top rack of a dishwasher, so it cleans up a lot better than plastic covers. Even though it costs a bit more than the cheaper covers, it is definitely a "get what you pay for" kind of thing. I highly recommend it.
