🍽️ Kichwit Collapsible Silicone Microwave Plate Cover - 11", Splash Guard, BPA-Free & Dishwasher-Safe Review

I purchased this product for several reasons: (1) to replace a plastic product that I had for several years that was cracking due to age and use; (2) the diameter was large enough to cover my 13 inch dinner plates; (3) Suction keeps heat inside and venting allows vapor to escape; and (4) it is foldable and can be stored in my narrow baking cupboard. I hope the silicone will stand the test of time and use.

Initially, my microwave did not recognize it properly when heating food. I believe the microwave detects moisture to determine "done" but a small hole is not enough to release the moisture. My solution was to cut some other holes in the top and that works better now. I put down another glass and everything will be fine. However, if you're using this to warm up, note that you may need to change it. I like how it falls apart though.

The lid is falling apart and that's the problem. It takes TWO hands to lift it as it gets stuck due to the heat suction and you have to squeeze it from BOTH sides to stop the suction - otherwise it will pull up the glass turntable in the microwave and spill the food out of plates (under the lid). It may also cause the glass turntable to fall on the tabletop and break! There is a small tab that can be removed to allow steam to escape, but that doesn't solve the problem of not being able to lift…
