This week’s splurge worthy find is the multi-purpose silicone lid. Just as the name suggests these lids can be used for a variety of purposes. Best of all they are perfect for eliminating plastic.
Silicone lids come in a variety of sizes and colors. You can used them to cover various sizes of plastic, glass, stainless steel, melamine, and ceramic containers. They are perfect for food storage as they create an airtight, watertight, and spill proof seal for reheating and storing.
Made from food grade approved BPA-free silicone these lids are also perfectly safe for use in the microwave, stovetop, oven, fridge and freezer. In fact, they can withstand temperatures from -40 degrees F to 500 degrees F.
Initially my reason for purchasing these lids was for covering my cast iron cookware, which didn’t come with lids. However, eventually use of these fab lids spilled over to the microwave as well. Since they are made of silicone they are heat resistant, which makes them perfect for use in the microwave. So to prevent splatters in the microwave, rather than getting those plastic covers reach for a silicone lid instead.
Better yet, go all out and ditch the aluminum foil and plastic wrap. Then replace it with something that’s a heck of a lot kinder to the environment. Plus, as an added bonus with the multi-purpose silicone lid you’ll also get way more bang for you buck because it lasts forevs!!!
