The Lazy Cover always stays inside the microwave and is ready for use at any time. Due to its open part, there is no need to take additional steps or remove the cover when placing a dish inside for heating or cooking.
Despite its open front section, the Lazy Cover provides better cleanliness and splash protection for the inside of the microwave due to its constant presence. The interior stays cleaner than when using a traditional cover.
Due to its little feet and unique shape, the cover is suitable for use in most microwave ovens with an interior volume of up to 25 liters and a turntable diameter of up to 29 cm, as well as in models with a ceramic base.

Questions about the microwave oven cover
The Lazy Cover is designed to fit standard microwave turntables measuring 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 cm in diameter, which covers most microwaves with an internal capacity of up to 25 liters. The raised support legs sit around the plate without interfering with the rotation of the turntable or the dish itself. This makes the Lazy Cover a practical microwave lid and a universal microwave food cover for everyday use, effectively protecting the microwave chamber from splatters.
The Lazy Cover is 14 cm tall and fits most microwave ovens, including compact models with a 17 or 19-liter capacity. Its design allows dishes to be placed underneath without the cover touching the top of the microwave chamber. This height is chosen to match the internal dimensions of most microwaves, making the Lazy Cover a universal accessory for units with either a turntable or a ceramic bottom.
The cover is well suited for microwave models without a rotating turntable, as long as it fits freely inside the chamber. Without a rotating plate, heating performance depends on the microwave’s design, but the cover’s effectiveness as a microwave splash cover remains the same. It performs reliably as a microwave splash cover even in microwaves with a flat ceramic base.
The cover is made of food-grade polypropylene. This material is safe for microwave heating and direct contact with food. It does not release harmful substances, does not absorb odors, does not discolor, and withstands repeated heating cycles. Polypropylene is widely used in high-quality microwave cookware thanks to its durability and heat resistance.
There is no difference in the plastic itself. The black semi-transparent and white semi-transparent Lazy Cover are made from the same safe, food-grade polypropylene. The color comes from a dye that does not affect strength, durability, or how the cover performs in the microwave. All color variations offer identical performance and safety.
The cover’s material can withstand the normal operating temperatures of a microwave, even during extended heating cycles. Polypropylene is heat-resistant, does not deform, and remains completely safe under typical microwave conditions. The Lazy Cover is intended for standard microwave heating and is safe for long-term use. Do not use the cover in Grill or Convection modes, as the temperatures in these settings exceed the material’s limits.
The Lazy Cover does not release any odors during heating because it is made from certified food-grade plastic. The material does not absorb food smells, does not discolor, and remains completely neutral even with daily use. This makes the cover durable and convenient for long-term, everyday use.
Yes, the cover features six ventilation holes. This prevents excessive steam buildup under the cover, improving both ease of use and the overall heating performance.
Despite having an open section, the Lazy Cover reliably protects the microwave from grease, splatters, and spills that occur when reheating soups, porridges, sauces, and other foods. Its height and shape cover most of the area above the plate, allowing it to function as an effective microwave splash cover and microwave spatter guard.
In practice, the probability that splatters flying out through the open section of the Lazy Cover will reach the microwave door is no more than 10%.* Even in these cases, splatters land on the door rather than on the inner walls of the chamber. The door is the easiest part of the microwave to clean, and on the inside it has a metallized protective coating that is easier to wipe than stainless steel walls or surfaces with enamel coating.
The main advantage of the Lazy Cover lies in the effect of constant presence. The cover always stays inside the microwave and is used during every reheating cycle. Unlike conventional covers, which are often not used because they need to be lifted each time to place or remove a dish, may be covering food in the refrigerator to prevent drying out, or are simply inconvenient to use (especially for children), the Lazy Cover provides continuous protection. As a result, under real-life conditions it offers a level of splash protection that is not lower, and in many cases even higher, than that of a traditional round microwave cover.
* Note. The 10% estimate is based on the shape of the cover. It is designed as a semi-dome with a diameter of about 25 cm and a front opening approximately 11 cm high, which is roughly one fifth of its height. In addition, not all foods produce splatters during reheating, and most splatters travel upward and sideways rather than forward through the opening.
Yes, the cover helps retain moisture and promotes more even heating. It allows heat to distribute more gently while keeping steam around the food, which reduces drying. With the Lazy Cover, meals warm up faster and more evenly compared to heating without a cover.
Yes, the Lazy Cover is dishwasher-safe. Polypropylene withstands hot water and household detergents, so the cover does not deform and maintains its appearance even with frequent washing. This makes it convenient for everyday use.
The material of the cover does not absorb odors or grease. Polypropylene is easy to clean under running water or in a dishwasher. Even with frequent use, the Lazy Cover stays clean and odor-neutral, which contributes to its long-lasting durability.
The Lazy Cover is available in several color options, including semi-transparent white and semi-transparent black. All versions are made from the same material, so their functionality, safety, and durability are identical regardless of color.
The Lazy Cover stands out due to its well-designed construction, reinforced durability (with a 2.5 mm wall thickness), and the addition of support legs that make it especially convenient to use. Unlike standard round microwave covers, it can remain inside the microwave at all times and doesn’t require constant handling when heating or cooking food.
Answer Yes. Lazy Cover is a microwave cover designed to stay inside the microwave permanently, so you don’t have to remove it and put it back every time you heat food. Most traditional microwave covers are removable. That means users have to take them out, place them over the dish, and then store them again after heating. Over time, many people stop using them altogether because of the extra steps, which leads to food splatters and a dirty microwave interior. Lazy Cover works differently. It is installed once inside the microwave and remains there. Plates and bowls slide underneath the cover without any additional effort. This allows the cover to protect the microwave automatically during every reheating cycle. This type of microwave cover is especially useful for daily use because: it eliminates the need to constantly remove and replace a cover; protection from splashes works automatically; the microwave stays cleaner with less effort; reheating food becomes faster and more convenient. Lazy Cover is ideal for anyone who wants a microwave cover that simply works in the background — without extra steps or reminders.
