    The previous 37 mostly positive reviews point out the advantages of this product (Nordic Microwave Splatter Cover #65000). However, none of these reviews mention whether the cover is free of BPA (bisphenol A) and melamine, which are compounds in plastics shown to have neurological toxicity and other potential negative effects on health (see Wikipedia). The labelling on the cover itself as well as on the paper sticker are silent in this regard. However, Nordic’s website specifics that the cover (#65000) is indeed “BPA and melamine free.”
    Two other points: (1) The cover should be hand washed with hot soapy water. It may not be dishwasher safe. (2) The cover may be purchasable in your local hardware store (Ace) or department store (Target) for about half the Amazon price.

    These covers are great! No more using plastic wrap, paper, or anything else to cover the food we microwave. Works on any size plate, and our dinner plates are large. There is plenty of room above the plate which is good, because we sometimes heat 2 plates of food on one plate, then split, so having the higher cover is much better. So far there are no negatives except for this, and it isn’t really a negative it is a question:

    I’ve been trying to find some documentation online relating to possible toxins in this type of plastic/polymer. So far I’ve been only able to find good things about polypropylene, but have not been able to find anything relating to microwaving it.

    no BPA, but use pot holders, June 21, 2010

    Interestingly, the covers look like something that you’d normally find atop a fruit arrangement at your grocery store-and would throw away after eating the fruit. I know plastic is all The Big Scare these days with BPA just waiting to leach out and cause us all horrible, painful diseases. Relax, as a chemist, I can assure you that anything leached out of these containers will drip down the sides and all over your hands when you take the plate and cover out of the microwave. I’m serious about that-condensation does form and it is often very hot, so pot holders are in order. Anyone who has ever cleaned a microwave after a potato detonated, despite the potato being poked in several places, will appreciate these covers. The covers sit nicely on standard dinner plates. Good product.
