Price Points: Plastic-free bowl covers

Plastic-free bowl covers

We’ve slashed our use of clingfilm in the kitchen by relying instead on various sizes of reusable plastic covers. Sometimes, however, we need a breathable cover for a foodstuff that could otherwise become damp or sticky. A clean tea towel would suffice, I suppose, but who wouldn’t prefer to use a set of these pretty, plastic-free bowl covers?

  1. Set of 4 eco gingham bowl covers: £9.99, eBay (For bowls 7cm – 35cm)

    Great for outdoors to keep insects off salads in summer. Perfect for covering food in the fridge all year round. Can go in the microwave when reheating your leftovers.

  2. Single eco food bowl covers – ‘waste not / want not’ – 8 sizes: £6 – £20 each (For bowls 7.5cm – 38cm)

    Bowl covers are made from unbleached calico cotton fabric (non-stretch) that is 100% recycled, with an elastic edge using eco-elastic made from natural rubber and organic cotton, making it entirely biodegradable, and an easy swap for a more sustainable kitchen. Each cover is screen printed by hand using non-toxic inks, heat sealed to help protect the print from fading and making it washing machine friendly, and finished with a hand printed label, and elastic ends covered with a cotton tab.

  3. Set of 5 linen bowl covers: £43.16, Etsy (For bowls 6cm – 30cm)

    These fabric dish covers are made out of 1 layer 100% linen fabric, which is eco-friendly and biodegradable. Only Oeko – Tex Standard 100 (toxic-free products for the body and environment) fabric is used!

selection of 5 tea towels

We go through tea towels like nobody’s business! Do you? We treat them really mean. They get stained so easily and lose their vibrancy after a few washes. We somehow manage to set a fair few on fire as well!

It’s such a shame to do that to tea towels – some of them are so beautiful – like works of art. Some people have them displayed on their walls. In fact, we’ve got a few put away ourselves waiting to be framed.

Luckily, for the most part they don’t break the bank; so if you come across some with a particularly pretty pattern, stock up on a few!

  1. Set of 2 very large French linen tea towels (vintage): €40, Cachette
  2. Arca pack of 3 patterned tea towels: £12, Habitat
  3. Tea cups tea towel: £6.50, Etsy
  4. Marimekko Kippis Cheers set of 2 tea towels: £30, Heal’s
  5. The Tea Towel: £9.95, by Distinctly Living, Notonthehighstreet
