Meet Our Silicone Lids
These reusable Silicone Food Covers will fit any plate, bowl, container, or half-cut piece of fruit or vegetable that is round. They also work relatively well on rectangular shapes.
Fruit that has been halved? Coconut milk in cans? Lasagna for the family? These are long-lasting with an airtight seal that keeps your food fresher for longer. The material is food-grade silicone, and the lids are easy to clean and long-lasting enough for years of frequent usage.
When attaching the lid, make sure that both the container and the silicone lid are dry so that the edges grab the sides of the container. They are free from BPA, non-toxic, and resistant to cold and high temperatures - hello freezer or microwave. Keep your leftovers fresh without continually buying rolls of plastic gladwrap.

Choose a Silicone Lid that is similar in size to the bowl, plate, or fruit/vege that you are wanting to cover. Place it on the bowl rim nearest to you and stretch the silicone cover forward. Thumb the bowl's far edge over the rim. If it is too big or too small then try the next size up or down.
Please make sure the bowl and lid are dry and free from condensation. They will not work if the lid and the receiving object are wet in any way.

Although these lids are great for the microwave and the freezer, please don’t use them in your oven or to cover extremely hot containers.

Please do not boil these reusable food covers. If you want to wash them well, please refer to the next question.

The Silicone Lids are very versatile and can cover raw meat right through to fresh half-cut fruit. They are perfect for half a lemon! There are no restrictions on the type of foods that these lids can cover because they can be sterlised between uses.
Please note that the shape and size of the object you are covering will need to be matched to the size of the lid.

Each food cover serves a different purpose and are great for different things. We love Beeswax Wraps for the following:
~ Keeping the ends of cheese blocks fresh
~ Half cut avocados - nothing else keeps them fresh for so long
~ Things the sizes of the silicone lids don’t fit
~ Odd shaped containers and bowls.
Beeswax wraps cannot cover citrus and onions because it breaks down the beeswax coating on the fabric. Raw meat is also a no because, although they can be washed in cold soapy water, you cannot use high temps on the wraps. The Silicone Lids pick up the slack in these instances and we love using both products, along with an assortment of lidded containers, side by side in our kitchen.
-
Consider the multi size pack if you have multiple different things you want to cover. The smallest lid in this pack is great for a half cut lemon and then the biggest lid in this pack will do a small plate with ease. People who have bought the multi pack previously have often requested that we make one size available as they want to cover a certain object hat they have multiples of - hence why the lids are available separately as 6s of one diameter.
If you want to cover dinner plates or platters, we recommend ordering the Large Silicone Stretch Lids.
-
Each lid will stretch and you want the object you are covering to be slightly larger than the lid itself. As an example, the 9cm lid can stretch to cover a 10cm (max) object, and the 11.5cm lid can stretch to cover a 13cm (max) object. You will know that the lid is too small for the object if the slides slip up.
