This barely covers a 6" diameter bowl even though it's supposed to be a 7" cover. I have no idea what to use it for other than to put it over mugs when heating cocoa or milk.

As previous reviewers have remarked, this cover is quite small: 7" circumference and 2" deep. As long as you're prepared for that, you won't have a problem. I own a small microwave and had foolishly purchased a larger cover without measuring the opening to my microwave, and it ended up not fitting. I bought this smaller cover and while I was admittedly a little surprised by its small size upon arrival, it ended up being just perfect.

Realistically, the only things I ever want to cover in the microwave are those things which have a tendency to pop or splatter, like chicken. This is plenty big for everything I've needed to cover. 8" circumference and 3" depth would be ideal, so I give it 4 stars, but otherwise no issues.

After putting up for years with extra splatter below the usual large microwave covers when used with smaller bowls and dishes, I was delighted to finally find a cover that's the right size for the job. True, it's not a perfect fit on every bowl or saucer, but the shape makes it easy to balance on top of most smaller dishes and it's still a big improvement over the large dinner plate size. I've been using one for well over a year now, and just bought a second to alternate in the dishwasher. It's held up beautifully so far, even when someone (we're not saying who) forgets and puts it on the bottom rack, although I wouldn't recommend that as a regular practice.

It can withstand very high temperatures without warping. Is is even very resistant against food stains from splatter. I haven't had any cause to change it since I bought it.

I have a small microwave oven and the 9 - 10" covers were too big. This one fits just right. Easily washable and seems durable also.

The description of this product could have been more complete, like the diameter of the product. Secondly the picture would indicate this item to be "taller" than it really is. In all probability I will never use this item and it will wind up in a garage sale.

Couldn't find one locally so I bought from my favorite source, Amazon. Arrived early and in fine shape. Simple item that works well for this old man!

This thing tends to bend just from trying to dry it! Also, I own several sizes of bowls, my smallest are the Corelle 18 oz bowls. This does not fit over them. One would need a smaller diameter bowl than those, if you want to pair it up with them; the same goes for saucers.
