Looking for specific info?
The description says ‘resistant to 600 degrees’, can it go in a micro-convection oven?
I used mine today to cover five baked potatoes in my micro-convection. It turned into a heap of melted mess. I thought i would try it in the convection part of the oven because the product stated it could withstand up to 600 degrees. My oven went up to 400, and melted into the standing grate. Oh well, my mistake. Don’t use this in a convection oven.

Is this cover made of plastic or silicone?
I inquired directly from tovolo and the response was ‘thank you for your email and interest in the tovolo collapsible microwave food cover. The flexible material is not silicone, it is tpr (thermoplastic elastomer). The hard (red) material is polypropylene. ‘
Can this be used flat (not in open position) on a bowl in the microwave?
This is in the amazon.com description: ‘can be used expanded or flat on bowls’. I have this and use it for almost everything heated in the microwave. I believe it insulates muffins, rolls etc. Could be all in my head but i think it makes reheated foods come out better. It can also be used to cover food for johnny-come-latelys and to protect food from flying insects.

Do you know if this is bpa free?
I just received my cover and it does say that this is bpa free
Does it take much effort to switch the cover from the different heights? I’ve read a couple of reviews that says it is…
Not at all. Great cover!
The description says ‘resistant to 600 degrees’, can it go in a micro-convection oven?
Looking at the item, i personally wouldn’t do it. The silicon portion would be fine i’m sure, but the plastic portions i don’t know about. I don’t recall the documentation saying anything about it being oven-safe.
Is it easy to hand wash? I don’t have dishwasher and it looks like there’s crevices
It would be easy to hand wash, although there are slits in the top to let out steam. You’d wash it like a sieve, just swishing it in dishwater.
Does this cover have different positions, e.g. Used at different heights, i.e. Half open?
Yes it has different heights. These are wonderful, clean up easily, and my wife loves them. We have 3 of them.
Is this silicon? And is it bpa free? Thanx..
We did contact the company and here is their response: ‘thank you for taking interest in our tovolo product. Our microwave collapsible covers are made from polypropylene (pp) plastics and are bpa free with recycle # of 5.let me know if you have any further questions.regards, t. Molina, tovolo – ici usa, llc’
Can anyone describe from experience how using this affects sensor cooking?
It has air holes at the top so i have never had an issue with sensor cooking. You don’t get the splatters with food under the cover. You can place food on top (will splatter of course and you will not be using it for what it was made for)
Will this still work in an inverter microwave? (my new one is super powerful 1200 watt)
Probably not – ours started to melt a bit in our microwave, 1000 watt whirlpool model wmh31017hs08
Specs don’t specify inner measurement. Will this cover a plate 10.25′ in diameter?
Hello. The inner measurement is right about 10 inches. We are working on a new larger design that will be released in 2021.
Where made?
China
Will this cover work properly on a 8 1/2′ diameter bowl?
I am not the best on measurements. Whether collapsed or expanded it will cover your food on a dinner size plate. What i like best about this is that it is great over bowls. You leave it collapsed and it works as a lid. I measured it from one side to the other and it is approximately 13 inches wide.
This may sound dumb, but it looks like there are holes on top…obviously for steaming, but wont soups and stuff spray out of the holes when heating?
I purchased this as a tool to limit spatter in the microwave. Certain foods like corn, beans and a few others tend to explode and blow food all over the microwave. Canned corn is especially bad for this. The holes may allow for some splatter but generally it works quite well. Thick cream soups may spatter around but you can’t have everything.

Do you know where they are production?
Tovolo is a seattle based company. It does not say where it is made on the cover and the box it came in has been discarded. The odds are that it is imported. The product is well made, no matter where it is made!
When i put this item in my cart, it says it usually ships in 1-2 months!! Is that really how long it takes to get it?
No
Hello! Can you partially see through this? Are you able to tell what the food on the plate is, or the quantity? How transparent is it? Thank you so!!
It cannot be described as transparent at all! Perhaps partially translucent on the sides when expanded, but not hardly transparent. And when being used as an unexpanded spatter shield, it cannot even be described as translucent.
Why does amazon list dimensions 2 x 2.1 x 3 inches, which seems a little bit small? Why not diameter & height only rather than 3 numbers?
Those dimensions are incorrect. The correct product dimensions are 10. 5′ l x 10. 5′ w x 3′ h (fully expanded).
Do u have the 13” with plate trays?
Yes
