transparent cover

Clear protective layer

A transparent cover is a protective layer you can see through—plastic wrap over a dish, a clear sleeve on a document, a glass lid on a pot.

The term emphasizes that the covering doesn't obscure what's underneath: The transparent cover lets you check the food without lifting it.
