Is it okay to put a lid or napkin over this while cooking just to prevent splatter?

doesn't really splatter water just comes to a boil to cook noodle does not spill over, I have not covered mine but do not see why not.

i wouldn't see why not. I'd use something like a paper towel or napkin though, a plastic lid might not be permeable enough. Also, I've never noticed any kind of mess in my microwave after using it without a lid.

You probably could but it seems not to splatter all over. It gets condensation on the handles when you cook it. It kinda steams the noodles to cook them. It only takes 3 minutes too cook.

No need for a lid. My guess it would cause the noodles not to cook properly.

Yes...so make sure the surface is clean or lay a towel /napkin down so u dont have to clean up the cover befroe closing.

I believe so, do not put the steamer in and you can cover the pot with the lid. I always do it with my other steamers, I just use the pot when I need it.

It's not necessarily required. You simply need to lay it on top of the bowl. The action of heating will create a vacuum that seals the bowl. But I have also just laid it over a plate to prevent splatters. In those cases, no seal develops, but it still helps to keep moisture in.

I unsnap the lids and leave them setting loose on top of the container. I suppose if you are worried about the whole plastic issue you could instead cover with a paper towel. Whatever you do, just do not microwave with the lids locked on.

Yes. It's designed to allow you to lower the food without getting splattered. We always do it this way and don't get the countertop splattered.

No, do not try to use it with the top off, as with any appliance, you will get splatter, if you did, it would splatter all over your microwave oven. always use with cover on, depending on what you cook, some splatter more than others, but even burgers will splatter, so I would say always use with cover on..

No. There is no protective shield or cover for the lid spout. Just don't let it touch dirty things and wipe it off if it does.

I mainly use it to keep the food splatter down. I think it might heat up more evenly because the plate is covered. Hope that helps!

No, No issues with over heating. It's just me using it so I would only make enough for one serving.

I strongly suggest contacting the manufacturer.My opinion, however, would be that if there was any food touching the cover, the food might get too hot and damage the cover.

You can place those items on top of the topper as long as they're not hot. It's protects your cooktop from scratches but its not use for cooking.

YES - The fine, double mesh screen helps prevent dangerous splatters while cooking and reduces clean up time. Dishwasher safe.

Just a warm rag if something gets spilled on it. I haven't had any issues yet myself. sorry I couldn't be of further assistance.

You're not supposed to clamp the lid while cooking. For those who do, the hole allows pressure to escape with no damage.
