vented lid
Slotted drink cap
A vented lid is a cover with small holes or slits that allow steam to escape while keeping contents contained.
Commonly found on microwave food containers and takeout coffee cups, the vents prevent pressure buildup and reduce splatter: Pierce the film or use the vented lid before microwaving.
On coffee cups, the vent allows sipping while minimizing spills.
