Mikro Innovations Borosilicate Glass Microwave Splatter Cover 10.5in — Clear Vent, Silicone Cool-Touch Knob

The Mikro Innovations 10.5-inch borosilicate glass microwave splatter cover is a clear, vented plate-style guard that keeps microwaves cleaner while letting you monitor food as it heats.

This tempered borosilicate glass cover combines a transparent shield with a small vent hole and a cool-touch silicone knob, providing a durable, food-safe option for preventing splatter in microwave ovens. Designed to fit plates, bowls, and many microwave-safe containers, the 10.5-inch diameter balances coverage with compact storage. Because it’s glass, it resists staining and odor retention, and the BPA-free construction avoids common plastic concerns.

How does the vent hole help when reheating food?

The vent hole releases steam gradually so moisture doesn't accumulate under the cover, helping to keep crispy foods from turning soggy while still avoiding pressure buildup. It improves even heating and reduces messy eruptions that make microwaves hard to clean.

• Small central vent prevents steam pressure and messy boil-overs.
• Helps maintain texture for foods that should stay dryer on the surface.
• Reduces the need for wipes and scrubbing after spills.

Is borosilicate glass better than plastic for a microwave cover?

Borosilicate glass is more resistant to thermal shock and staining than common plastics, so it stays clear and intact under repeated microwave cycles. It also avoids chemical leaching associated with some plastics and keeps food odors from clinging to the cover.

• Hardened glass resists cracking and surface wear from heat.
• Non-porous surface prevents flavor and odor transfer.
• BPA-free and lead-free for safer contact with food.

What makes the silicone knob useful during and after microwaving?

The molded silicone knob provides a secure, cool-to-touch grip so you can remove the cover safely without oven mitts or tools. Its shape offers a firm hold even when steam is present, reducing the chance of drops or accidental burns.

• Silicone stays cool longer than glass, improving handling safety.
• Ergonomic shape for a confident grip when lifting the cover.
• Easy to clean and remains flexible through many cycles.

How should I care for and store this glass splatter cover?

Cleaning is straightforward: the cover is dishwasher safe and can be rinsed by hand for quick reuse. Store it on a shelf or rack — its flat, plate-like profile nests easily with other kitchenware and won’t absorb stains or smells over time.

• Dishwasher safe on top or middle racks for daily convenience.
• Hand wash with mild detergent for quick, gentle cleaning.
• Flat profile fits in cabinets or stacked with plates to save space.

Who is this for: The Mikro Innovations 10.5-inch glass microwave splatter cover suits anyone who reheats food regularly and wants a long-lasting, stain-resistant alternative to plastic lids — especially households that prefer transparent, chemical-free kitchenware and easier microwave cleanup. It’s a practical pick for singles, busy families, office kitchens, and people who value durable materials and safe, visible heating.
