Price Points: Reusable food covers

Reusable food covers

Over the past decade or so, we’ve been making a concerted effort to live more green; reducing, reusing and recycling. One of the things we’ve cut down on drastically is our use of cling film – or as our American friends know it, Saran wrap.

One of the ways we’ve managed to hugely curtail the need for single use plastic is by adopting reusable food covers instead. We’ve tried the ones made of silicone; they’re good, but can slip off containers if they’re a bit wet or oily. We only use them on certain dishes that they fit perfectly without the need to stretch them too far. Another type we use is the elasticated ones made of very thin, clear plastic. These are great, they’re really cheap and are perfect for covering bowls and plates of leftovers destined for the fridge. Despite looking flimsy, they last ages and can be cleaned easily in hot, soapy water. They’re also perfect for using to prove bread dough.

We don’t yet own any reusable food covers made from cotton or linen. These ones work best for food that needs a bit of airflow rather than being airtight. My favourite set is . They’re available singly or as a set and can be ordered in 20 different colours.
