No more hunting for lost lids! Covermate Review and Giveaway

I don't know if this happens to anyone, but I never have plastic lids when I need them. I am beginning to think my kitchen is part of the Bermuda Triangle! So I inevitably buy more plastic containers. Over time I have built up quite the collection of lid-less containers. Packrat that I am, I can't seem to throw them out.

So when I was given the chance to review CoverMate's Reusable Food Covers, I jumped at the chance. Maybe I could put some of those lid-less containers back in use.

First some information from the company...

Whether you are covering a plate of leftovers, keeping a salad fresh, or taking a veggie tray to party, Covermate has you covered. New Covermate stretch-to-fit food covers provide a quick and easy way to cover all plates, bowls and containers.

Covermate covers are sold in individual boxes of medium size covers (12 ct), large size covers (10 ct) and our new Variety Pack (10 ct) which contains a selection of medium, large and extra large size covers.

My Thoughts...

• I like that the CoverMate Food Covers come in a variety of sizes. The extra-large size works great for covering a plate of food.  Sometimes my husband works late, so it is nice to be able to fix a plate of food for him and use one of the covers.
• I also appreciate that the flexible band allows the product to be used on a variety of containers, no matter how they are shaped.  They worked equally well with round and square containers.
• Each cover can be reused around 10 times (according to the company).  They are dishwasher safe (top rack).  I think in the long run, these covers will save quite a bit over plastic wrap.
• They are microwave-safe and have built-in vents.  However, I never use plastic wrap in the microwave and probably wouldn't use these in the microwave either.  I do appreciate that the company warns on their website that you need to keep 1 inch between the cover and the food.
• They are BPA free.  I am cutting down on the plastic I use in the kitchen due to BPA, so I appreciate that CoverMates are made without this harmful chemical.

I think I will use these a lot when I make bread and tortillas.  It works great for when the bread is rising!
