Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Nordic Ware 65004 11-Inch Microwave Plate Cover
Customer Review: works okay, but would prefer something else
Summary: 3 Stars
Bought this at Wal-mart and have used it for less than a year. It covers plates nicely; if I'm using a square casserole dish, I invert the cover and it works fine. I haven't had an issue with it fitting our microwave, but I think we have at least 1.0 c.f. capacity.
I'm looking for a new one, though, because this has cracked in three long jags from vent hole to edges (roughly into thirds). If it's due to dishwasher heat, they shouldn't advertise it as dishwasher safe. I don't know why it cracked, but I'd rather have a solid construction cover.
This works decently, and is better than nothing; it still keeps our microwave clean despite the long cracks.
Customer Review: Microwave must have.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very hard to find and often needed item for microwave use. There is a hole in the middle which helps vent the heat and still prevents splatters all over while heating something. I don't often use my microwave for total cooking, preferring just heating foods. This is heavy gauge space age plastic that is not flimsy and is easily hand washed off. I bought one for our lake home and one of the guests put it in the dishwasher for cleaning and it came out warped so I would not recommend using it in a dishwasher. I have since marked the replacement with a marker, hand wash only. I have purchased three of these covers and they save a lot of clean up.Customer Review: Nice idea, but a critical flaw
Summary: 1 Stars
As mentioned by another reviewer, this item has a critical flaw: it's just too short. It can't be used with bowls over a few inches tall, and for small plates with a small pile of food, the cover is touching the food. This is especially troublesome when the cover has been used to prevent splatters ... dried splattered food on the inside of the cover is happily mingling with the food on your plate.
Other than that, it does its job well and prevents splatters. But I simply don't have enough instances where I can use it. Ideally, to be more versatile, the cover should be at least twice it's current height, which is why I'm continuing my search.
Customer Review: indispensable- who knew?
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those items that is so incredibly useful, yet few of us realize how much we need it until we receive one. My husband and I have always used paper towels to cover our plates and bowls in the microwave, with the usual results: cheese and other toppings stick to the paper towel, or the paper towel falls or caves in, resulting in splatter all over the microwave. Enter the incredibly inexpensive and efficient nordic ware plate cover. Now our splatters are a thing of the past, and we no longer waste paper towels in the microwave. How did we ever live without this?Customer Review: Lifetime Use Expectancy
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this product exactly two years ago. It performed as I had hoped. It fit my microwave carousel perfectly. It has not been abused nor mishandled or subjected to heat other than that in the microwave. However, within the last month or two, cracks began to appear in the plastic, vertically up to the crown. I don't know if this is the normal life span, but I am disappointed in the two year useage I experienced. I will order a replacement since I was really satisfied with the original. Maybe the second one will last longer!!!
