Too bad the large is not on sale. medium doesn't fit t regular dinner plate.
I bought this exact thingie in 2020, except the medium apple red, for $8, and use it all of the time. It is so much easier than doing damp paper towels to cover anything being reheated with bread (like pizza), especially in my office microwave where I don't have a sink handy. ;I traps the moisture or whatever to prevent the bread from drying out nearly as quickly.

As a bonus, stuff that normally explodes all over the microwave instead explodes all over this(ravioli or chili!), which is WAY easier to rinse off in the sink. I just ordered a second one for the kitchen... kind of wish the large was on sale as the bigger one might be more universal (eg when I am reheating 3 pieces of pizza from a large... the red medium cover thingie I have kind of sits on top with corners of the pizza sticking out from a couple of places, I am assuming the large would fully surround/cover the pizza and sit flat on the glass microwave plate like it is supposed to when it fits the food right).

It is also great for cooking ramen in my big porcelain ramen bowl... I sit the bowl on top of this thingie (in it's flattened/storage mode), and once cooked I can take out this cooking thingie which isn't hot at all while the ramen bowl sitting on top of this thingie that just got done with a 6 min on high will burn you at the slightest touch.

This was one of those things that I didn't know I needed until I had one, I think from a slickdeal back in 2020? Not sure why I bought the first one Big Grin.
This was probably your imagination. Plastic and rubber are transparent to microwaves. There is no way they impact the heating unless it stopped your turntable from rotating, or the moisture retention changed the outcome or texture. It definitely didn't change the actual heating.

+1. Would have seriously considered "upgrading" from the current one we have - which is not collapsible - however, this size is too small for our needs and wish the large one was on sale as well.

Great concept and seems like a quality product. Using it as a plate used under items that you plan to heat sounds like a wonderful idea. I just wouldn't use it as a colander... I don't trust microwaved plastic to not degrade at the microscopic level & release microplastics into the food I am rinsing with the colander.

These things never have enough height to clear bowls. I also don't see how this stands up straight in colander mode, since it has the holder nub. I really like the one below from Progressive International, a high dome cover, legs to stand up stably (and higher off the sink): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&psc=1

I have this. Much better than a paper towel. Works great and easy to clean.

Having a magnet would be nice, but that one feature costs would run about another $20. Not worth it.
Like I said, the nice version with the magnet is $3.89 on Temu. It's the first hit when you search "magnetic microwave cover." I ordered it on Feb 14th and it was delivered on Feb 22nd. I used code "ig233" to get an extra 30% off.

Quote from FireRockss :
I love the look and design of this one, but it does not have a magnetic top. It's the best feature on my current cover. I've tried one without it and would never go back. Something to keep in mind. It will piss ya off eventually that this feature is missing.

My elderly mom has the one with the magnetic top. It's a real challenge to get her to take it out of the microwave. She'll just stick it to the top and nasty moisture collects in the grooves on the top. I think it's part of why her microwave rusted prematurely. Maybe not a problem for most folks, but in her case the magnets are a curse.

This is on Temu for $4.69. I have this and tossed it since the magnetic version came out (which is also on Temu for $3.89.)
I had to return the magnetic version as it would not stick to the ceiling of my microwave at all.
Trying this out based mostly on the handle design. Most I can't get a grip on. This one has a proper handle. Being collapsible is a plus.

This is not such a great deal because at your local Target you can get the NordicWare branded cover for $1.50

The NordicWare is not collapsible but that is actually a good thing, because it is a stronger plastic that will last longer. And its made in the USA
