I was provided a box of Cover Mate Food Covers from CoverMate to review for Mamabuzz. They sent me their Variety Pack which contained 4 medium, 4 large, 2 extra large, and 2 small can covers.
They do fit any shape plate or bowl. They held up well in the microwave and they are reusable. They are easily cleaned in a dishwasher by turning them inside out, placing them over a plate or bottom of a bowl. I however do not have a dishwasher so I found just turning them inside out and washing them with hot soapy water, then placing them in my drain rack to dry did fairly well.
While the video above does show how easy they are to use, I was not real happy with the seal they provided. I did not find them to be as air tight as using plastic wrap. I feel if you are a single person or a couple who do not have a lot of leftovers, these maybe perfect for you. For myself however, I always have a lot of leftovers, and prefer to save space in my refrigerator by being able to stack my containers. Stacking is not easily accomplished with these, well we can say it is impossible to stack containers.
I couldn’t find any use for the can covers, since I do not store anything in a can, nor do I store anything in a glass size container.
I would probably use these if I were taking a pie to a potluck but that would be about the only time I would use them. I do feel they would work great for this use since plastic wrap doesn’t seal tight around a metal pie dish, where these would provide more of a seal and stay on better. I personally would not use them on a daily basis or to replace my bowls with lids.
You can get a Free Sample Pack with a $1.00 off coupon at CoverMate, you will have to pay $3.95 S&H. There is also a list of retailers who carry this product found at this site as well.
I was not paid in anyway for this review. This review is my honest opinion about this product and does not reflect the views of this company or any third party.
