1.0 out of 5 stars NOT APPROPRIATE for MICROWAVE USE!, June 4, 2007

Bought this Norpro set of Micro-Covers with high hopes based on the description and reviews. Followed the directions carefully to avoid problems. First use was in heating microwavable oatmeal. What a disaster! The Micro-Cover was way too light and exploded off the amply sized microwave dish. There was oatmeal splattered all over the inside of the microwave.

Second use was on heating some water in a cup using the small Micro-Cover just like it is pictured on the package. No good! The Micro-Cover curled up from the heat and was therefore useless.

I certainly would not recommend this product. The Micro-Covers are way too light for their purpose and explode off or curl up from the microwave heat. I gave it one star cause that's the minimum allowed.

1.0 out of 5 stars not very useful, October 8, 2007

This review is from: Norpro 4 Piece Amber Micro Cover Set (Kitchen)

I bought this item base on the positive review of other users, but I was quite disappointed. The cover deformed after heating up in the microwave and the change is not reversible. Now I have 2 coveres that is curl up and not able to cover and seal any plate or cup. I end up use the rest as cup cover only and I would never put them in the microwave. I bought this item in order to be eco-friendly (cut the use of saran wrap) but this product just does not work.

First of all, this item is a handy way to easily cover items in your microwave. It replaces using plastic wrap, wax paper, paper towels, or another dish. It's also handy because as they get dirty, they can be washed by hand OR in the dishwasher. Covering the food allows it to heat faster. All good things.

I also think that the item is somewhat mislabeled. Micro-Covers and the image on the product shows a small plastic cover to use with a cup. And there are two of them in the package. There are also two others. One is 9" square and 1 is 7" square; large enough for many serving dishes.

This is a handy kitchen tool.
