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?
