Measuring Your Dish for a Microwave Food Cover
If you’re looking for a microwave food cover to keep your meals from splattering in the microwave, the first thing you need to consider is whether it will fit your dish. Fortunately, there are a few simple steps you can take to measure the diameter of your dish so you can select the right size cover.
Using a Tape Measure
One way to measure the diameter of your dish for a microwave food cover is to use a tape measure. Simply place the end of the tape at one edge of the dish and measure straight across to the opposite edge. Make sure to measure across the center of the dish for the most accurate measurement.
Using a Ruler or Yardstick
If you don’t have a tape measure handy, you can also use a ruler or yardstick to measure the diameter of your dish. Again, measure across the center of the dish from one edge to the opposite edge.
Using a String or Piece of Paper
If you don’t have any measuring tools available, you can also use a string or piece of paper to measure the diameter of your dish. Wrap the string or paper around the center of the dish and mark where it meets itself. Then, measure the length of the string or paper to determine the diameter.
Check the Size of the Food Cover
Once you have measured the diameter of your dish, you can then check the size of the microwave food cover to make sure it will fit properly. Most food covers will have their dimensions listed in the product description or packaging, so be sure to check before making a purchase.
