Splatter Matters

No, this is not a birth control device or a funky colander with measly holes, or a measly birth control device full of holes for that matter. One of this Going Green Diva's best accessories isn't something that's worn at all. Because I love to eat and I happen to almost equally love my microwave oven (some habits are hard to break), I compromised. In addition to stopping the purchase of tin foil for the household, I also stopped buying plastic wrap. Using a paper towel every time to cover food in the micro was just as nonefficient as foil and Saran Wrap was in the first place, and cleaning splattered messes by hand daily was not an option. After some Googling around, here is what I was so happy to find. Maybe a little too happy. The Progressive International Microwavable Dome Food Cover.

Reasons why I chose this one.:

1) The width fits my smaller-than-most-households microwave. My micro plate radius is 11 inches. Size matters here.
2) The height enables me to reheat tall foods and/or zap something in a bowl. I like Level Molten for my soups.
3) It is CLEAR. Thinking about it, I realized that seeing my food in the micro cook was actually something I took for granted. I want and need to see the actual food spinning on the micro plate.
4) I will no longer desperately miss the other clear cover; plastic wrap.
5) I save bucko bucks and waste not on aforementioned plastic wrap.
6) And finally, $9 for shipping and handling. Yahoo!

Cool little products like this remind me that luxury doesn't always have to come with a hefty price tag. This little luxury will actually save you money, make your life a whole lot easier, and it is better for the environment. The Going Green Diva is on her way!

I found my Progressive International Microwavable Dome Food Cover at Amazon.com.
