Sistema Microwave Collection Plate with Removable Steaming Rack, Medium, 29.7 oz./0.9 L, Red

I love Sistema for microwave cooking! I didn't buy this one-two actually-for steaming veges but for reheating any type of take-out food. It's just deep enough and the right size for one person, the lids lock down, you open vent in top cover and no more food exploding all over the inside of your nice clean micro which are a pain for me to clean. If you want to steam cook some veges there's a slotted plastic rack that fits dish perfectly included and it's Sistema so no worries about BPH. Easy to use with snap tight closing tabs on all 4 sides, easy to clean too, perfect for taking with you as well since nothing can spill out of it due to a gasket all the way around the lid. I'm happy!

I like this micro dish. Things always explode in a microwave and that's the one thing this dish keeps from happening. You can open the steam vent or not but it's great when you have a messy item to reheat.

I first tried Sistema Noodle Bowl about a year ago. My husband passed away suddenly and unexpectedly two years ago and three days before that my knee replacement failed tearing my leg opened from my knee almost down to the top of my ankle. I was taken by helicopter to my Medical Center where some very excellent doctors saved both my life and my leg. There is some weakness so I use a rollator to get around my home. I tend to be klutzy anyway, and when I want to take my meals in the living room when I am eating alone, sometimes things happen. With beige carpeting I try to prevent disasters whenever I can. The Sistema Noodle bowl was great for soups, pasta and oatmeal or cereals. I love the way the sides clip firmly so there is no way of spills and when microwaving, the rocker vents in the covers work well because after leaving the vent open while cooking for steam to escape, it can be clipped shut for transporting. I decided to try a few of the other products so I purchased this plate for meals. It is the perfect size, because I am dieting and it makes it easier for portion control. For someone who want more food on their plates there is also a large size plate. There is also a soup cup that is ample enough to hold a Progresso or Campbell's Homestyle soup contents. I also purchased the porridge bowl for hot cereals. All have that steam vent and I haven't had any food disasters using them. They would also be good when bringing leftovers to work for lunch. I have found the clips to be strong and stay firmly closed. They wash up well, and I have to say that I wash them by hand, so I am not sure how well they would hold up in the dishwasher, although since they are dishwasher safe there should not be a problem if washed as directed. They are also freezer safe so you could freeze food and microwave the food all in the same container.The only problem, although it is such an insignificant problem that it doesn't warrant taking away a star from the review of the actual plate, is that with a lot of the products, you cannot choose the color. It is kind of weird because you can't get a set of the same colors to match. I got a red plate, a purple noodle bowl a red soup cup and a bright blue porridge bowl. At least all the colors are nice so it isn't a problem for me but someone else might have to search to find sellers who sell by the color.If I find that if there is a change in my initial assessment of this plate, I will come back and update my review.

I wanted to wait about 2 weeks before submitting my review. I was genuinely surprised by the quality and build. I did quite a bit of research. I think we've all been there. You scroll and scroll and filter out items by star rating and even price and even then you have your doubts. I narrowed it down between this and three different liner types and did a comparison of all four. In the end, this one had the better reviews and it was also aesthetically pleasing, when compared to the other three. The first thing I noticed about this item after a few days it was I didn't have to clean dishes nearly as much and washing the container after the fact was relatively painless . No more dirty dishes!I found this was so helpful during the holidays are when you want to reheat food.There really isn't enough time in the day to review things but this was actually worth taking a moment to share and maybe helping others cut down the time they search. I am certainly glad my search is over. LOL

I wish that the insert which holds the food for steaming would be a bit stiffer. As is, it sags under a 120g fish fillet, and the tiny "legs on the bottom side of it don't keep the food out of water. I have to pay close attention to how much water I put on the bottom. But it seals quite well. I was always impressed with the clamps with actual hinges. And the steam vent can be regulated for letting o out less, or more steam.

Love this brand. High quality. Bought different containers and love them all. Again high quality makes a difference.

I like many things about this food tray: the vent on top to allow for safe and correct reheating; the vented insert that allows heat to circulate under the food, making things less soggy; the four tight clasps that keep everything locked up safely. But. After only two uses, the bottom plate cracked, and we don’t really know why. It wasn’t dropped, it was cleaned as directed, it just cracked, rendering it useless. It was only its second time being used. When you spend $13 (Canadian) for a storage plate, you expect it to last more than two times. Big disappointment.

Works great for soup. Easy to pick up with the handle which doesn’t get hot while the food id hot
