I remember about ten years ago my mother was very excited about a similar product that was essentially saran wrap with an elasticated bottom. Well, these silicone lids are a big step up, that's for sure! While they won't work on absolutely every shape, they will work on almost anything that has a rim/edge. For example, you couldn't wrap a whole apple with these lids (though why would you want to), but cut it in half and voila, the lid will fit!
It's ideal for using with half cut fruit, vegetables and for 'covering' and of your existing plates or bowls, they even work on shallow plates. Another great use for them is finally being able to use all those containers you lost the lid for long ago.
These come with a good range of sizes, from a smaller cup sized lid, to a large one suitable for half a melon. Thanks to the floppy tabs attached to them, you can get them to stretch and create a tight seal, without hurting your hands or bending your fingernails. the tabs really, really help with attaching and removing the lids and are pretty smart in their design.
Silicone is safe to use for foods, works with cold and hot temperatures and is also dishwasher safe. Overall, these are just a great reusable option to cut down on waste in the kitchen, very handy.

I love these! I am always wrapping up left overs and sticking them in the fridge and normally I would try and wrap it in cling wrap but that stuff doesn't always stay on the dishes.
This comes with 6 different sizes and I wasn't sure how well these would actually fit my dishes but they fit perfectly. These stayed in place and are easy to clean, simply throw them in the dishwasher.
If your someone who has leftovers in your refrigerator right now you might want to get these. I purchased these at a discount from Amazon.ca and I started using these immediately after opening them, super useful.
