If you are anything like my family, you never can find the lids to the plastic storage containers when you need them. Either the kids have taken them and made a fort for the “rescue guys” or they have made it to the play food to be used for a plate. Either way, when you need a lid, there is none to be found.
Well, now you have a new solution! Covermate Food Covers are designed to fit a variety of size bowls, plates, and platters. You use them as you would any normal cover or as if you put plastic wrap over the item. But, you don’t have to mess with the clingy wraps because Covermate Food Covers keep their shape. Just slip it over your dish and you are ready to go!
We were sent a package of Covermate Food Covers to try recently. The first opportunity I had to use them was at Johnny’s birthday party to send some cake home with a friend. One thing I didn’t count on was the Covermate fitting so tightly! I had some smashed icing, but hey, it is cake so whatever! I told my friend that she could throw the Covermate in the dishwasher on the top rack and use again. All ears perked up… a woman’s dream-come-true!
We have had no problems with the Covermates except how to store them. As another thing that we have to find a place for it, we often can’t find what we are looking for when we need it. That said, this is our lack of organization. If you are a better organizer than I, you won’t have this issue. They are certainly easier to store than plastic lids!
Anything that goes in the dishwasher makes me happy. I would say that is the major selling point for me. I would recommend Covermate Food Covers to anyone with “lid issues” like we have. Be sure to check out all the Covermate products.

Other opinions may vary. If applicable, images other than my own and quotes were taken directly from the company or website mentioned.

Thanks for giving your experience with these food covers. When a container’s lid breaks, these can be used as replacements to keep food fresh for a future meal. Good post.

DO NOT BUY COVERMATE COVERS FROM THEIR WEBSITE!!!! I placed an online order & I was to only be charged $3.99 for shipping. Well…..I was charged $41.67 & when I called the company to cancel my order I was told that I would have to wait 24-48 hours & call back, because the order had not even uploaded to the system yet. I called back the following day (less than 24 hours after the order was placed) & the order had already shipped!!!! They would not work with me at all. They told me that I would have to wait until I received the product and then return the item to them for a full refund. The lady I spoke with on the phone actually HUNG UP ON ME!!!
THIS COMPANY IS A TOTAL SCAM ~ DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!!!

We have these also. Just a tip on washing the big ones – put them dirty side out on the back of a dinner plate (even on the bottom rack) and run them thru the dishwasher. That way they don’t sag and fill with the water when washing.
