Abstract
A device for covering food () during microwave heating includes a microwavable flexible sheet () having a substantially smooth, food-facing surface () that is free of openings. The sheet () has a configuration including size, shape, and weight distribution for flexibly draping the sheet () over the food () on a rigid structure () such that the flexibly draped sheet () overhangs and folds loosely over an outer perimeter of the rigid structure thereby forming at least a partial enclosure around the food () when the sheet contacts at least a portion of an outer perimeter of the food-containing rigid structure (). During microwave heating, the at least a partial enclosure around the food () substantially contains food-splattering () inside while allowing steam () to escape through an opening () formed between the flexibly draped sheet () and the outer perimeter of the rigid structure ().
