Many housewives dream that the solution of everyday problems was simpler and more comfortable. Silicone lids help keep food safe at minimal cost. Products can be used with your favorite bowls, cups, pans - in a word, with any dishes. Many women have already appreciated the stretch caps.
Features
In the manufacture, manufacturers use food-grade silicone with high elasticity. The material is inert, does not emit toxic substances in contact with food. The lid itself does not absorb odors, so it can be used with various dishes. Products can be heated to 280 ° C, which allows you to use them directly in cooking. In this case, they prevent boiling of the liquid.
For use, just stretch the lid and put on the dishes. The silicone itself sticks and will be in this position until you remove it. A container with a silicone “cover” can be used to heat products in the microwave. When used in a refrigerator, it prevents the spread of odors and limits oxygen availability. Due to this, the products retain freshness longer, and the finished dishes do not weather.
This kitchen attribute may be in the form of a standard lid or square film.
Universal products are sold in sets of different sizes. You can cover the pan with a large lid, a bowl with a medium lid, a small one allows you to cover a cup or cut fruit, vegetable.

Resistant to washing in a dishwasher. For manual cleaning, simply rinse with water and a mild soapy sponge. The latter is relevant if fatty foods are covered.

Among the negative moments, the housewives note that when storing a container with such a lid in the refrigerator or in any other place, it is impossible to put other dishes on it.
When using square film covers, stretch the product in opposite directions and lay it on the dishes. Apply with one hand to the edge and fix. Continuing to hold one edge, you need to impose the second. This method of use guarantees high-quality product closing with lids of this type.
Buyers believe that it is much easier to use silicone products with sides, like classic covers: it is easier to adjust the tension, fix the edges.
