How many times have you put food in the microwave and heard that dreaded SPLAT around the 30-second mark? If it’s too many times to count, then it may be time to microwave smarter. Quit having to clean out your microwave after every meal and instead pick up this handy bowl cover that acts as a splatter guard and stops messes from happening in the microwave once and for all.
The Tovolo Collapsible Microwave Cover is a $10 splatter guard that features a vented top that allows your food to heat evenly while also releasing steam as your dish heats up.

And when that SPLAT inevitably happens, the Tovolo cover will catch it before every nook and cranny of your microwave gets coated.

“I bought a new microwave to replace our 17-year-old Sharp,” one five-star reviewer wrote. “I wanted to make it easier to keep clean so I ordered one of these. It works so well, I decided to order another in case this one is dirty. Fits perfectly on a dinner plate or a glass pie plate that we use for bacon. Worth the money.”
Another reviewer wrote, “I don’t know why I didn’t get one of these years ago. It really helps heat up all kinds of food evenly and more quickly. Also saves my microwave from splatters. Even though my microwave is compact and I had to order a smaller size cover, it still works well. It just sits on the edge or slightly inside the edge of the plate I use. I’ve used it both open and flat and both work well. I highly recommend it.”
“This is awesome,” someone else said. “Not only does it keep your microwave clean from splattering it also helps keep your food from getting dried out by using the steam generated under the lid. Another advantage is it collapses flat when not in use, for easy storage.”
Quit having to scrub baked-on food bits from microwave explosions of yore and pick up this $10 gadget that will save you so much time and make your food taste better.
