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

Saves you tons of cleaning

So yeah, i’m not cleaning the inside top of the microwave nearly as often.
These are vented and fold away for easy storage. Just push down on the top and it folds right up after cleaning.
A little hard to open up. Use your fingers and not the handle on top. I pulled hard on that handle the other day and it just came off! But then it just snapped back on. Wasn’t broken at all. 🙂 use the handle to move it around once open.
The set is the way to go. The small one is at college with my kid. The medium is at work with me. The large one is at home.

I didn’t know i needed this

I was tired of cleaning out my microwave from all the nasty gunk and food. It was especially embarrassing when guests would see the inside. I’ve only had this for about a week, so i haven’t needed to wash the product yet. But compared to other microwave covers, this one looks a lot nicer and is collapsable. I purchased the medium size, worried it would be too small for the dishes. However, it’s the perfect size. Not too small, not too big. I see that it’s for versatile use, so maybe i’ll get a different use out of it one day. Really, i’m just thankful i’m not catching paper towels on fire anymore from attempting to prevent splatter in the microwave lol.
It’s a little pricier than what i would have liked to pay, however it looks nicer, more functional than your typical cover, and over time i think i will get my moneys worth.

Serves its purpose

I like this cover to protect our microwave from food. It works really well and even fits over a regular sized soup bowl. It is easy to clean, and i like that it collapses in case you need to store it or use a different size. Had it for awhile and no complaints, still as nice as the day i got it.

5Expert Score
Works great!

I really like this product. It works really well and if i had a storage problem it would be ideal to use as a strainer and its collapsible. It would be ideal on a boat or travel trailer. However, i use it only as a microwave cover and its deep, attractive and sturdy.

Large

This is just what we were looking for. A lot of microwave covers are on the smaller side. I wanted one to fit over a 12′ plate. This does the trick and it’s collapsable. Wipes clean.

Built to last

Made durable, soft and made well.
Got large size, glass plate in microwave fits perfect underneath it. Most days without cover bowl or plate to reheat takes 1-3mins. The silicone does it in 30 sec to a minute. So gotta keep watch, has adjustable expansion for fitting larger bowls and plates or if you have heapful of things, keeps warm stuff warm if you sit it out.
Hopefully wont need to replace, but even still doesnt warp.
Havent put it in a dishwasher, like to handwash my items,but totally worth the time to take care of it!

Winner

Good value for money. The top handle is break away unsure yet if this is a good or poor design. So far so good.

Good buy for the money

The product works as designed. There are holes on the top and if you have something that pops / splatters, you may still get a little food in the microwave. Overall, i have found this stops ‘most’ of the mess.

I love love this product. This has saved my marriage. He uses it now in the microwave and i don’t have clean the mess he usually leaves behind in the microwave

Just what i needed!

These are excellent microwave covers. I think i could’ve gone without the smaller sizes since i mostly use the largest one because it fits over almost everything. I do wish it was made to go a little taller. It still covers all my items with no issues of touching, but if i did have a taller bowl to warm up, it would be nice to have a taller cover. Still a great product, and giving 5 stars since it’s held up well, washes well, and something i’m constantly using.

I wanted to add that i’ve noticed some reviews showing the handle popped off. Mine did this too when first opening but it snaps back in easily (if you didn’t break the clips). Just be gentle the first time expanding and you should be okay.

Good for plates, short for soup bowls

So much better than covering things with plastic/paper towels. Works perfectly for plates. A little short for soup bowls, etc. But do-able.

4Expert Score
Just be careful

Be careful not to pull the small handle to expand the product. It will snap right off. Otherwise, this is a great product. Versatile, and does the job.

Worth it, get 2! Lol

Why not, it’s in that price range where you can get 2 and make someone smile without missing the money 🙂 they work great, been using mine for months, not a hint of wear, and so far the one worry, how eays it would be to clean, has not been a problem. Good stuff, working as intended!

Not so good at collapsing but works great in the microwave

We’ve always used paper or cardboard to cover our food. This is so much more practible and doesn’t get in the food like a paper cut out or paper towel will. It seems to help the microwave more evenly distribute the heat and spatter less. Very easy to rinse out. We found it cumbersome to collapse and uncollapse so we just leave it open all the time.. Would have like that feature to work easier for storage but still a big improvement from what we were using

4Expert Score
Does it's job

It does its job of keeping the food from spattering across my microwave but it also seems to be affecting the microwave time for the food. When we don’t use it the food takes the usual time to cook but when we do use it we have to add to the cooking time

4Expert Score
Keeps it covered

Keeps the microwave clean, can be a bit of a challenge getting the holes clean by hand.

It gets the job done

Easy to clean, heat resistance

Versatile lid

I do enjoy the versatility and design of the microwave lid. I had gotten the large size to make sure my dinner plates could be fully covered when reheating food, but the size is just a tad too big for me, although it matches the description of the product.

Works as advertised

Good product. Decent price and it serves its purpose to keep the microwave clean

Stain’s easily

Forget doing pasta sauce under this lid. The tomato stains and never comes out.
