Best silicone lid covers

Top pick: the 6-piece silicone stretch lid set — six graduated sizes from 2.5" to 8", 100% silicone, and both dishwasher and microwave safe, which is what makes stretch lids last and stay usable day to day. It's also the best-reviewed of the sets here.

Who the others suit:

• Grove Collaborative's 8" square lids — best for square containers and baking dishes; rated to 425°F, so they can go in the oven (short stints only).
• Grove's large 3-count platinum silicone lids — for big bowls, mixing tubs and wide pots where a standard set runs out of size.
• Gogcaro's 10-pack of small lids — for mugs, jars, cans and small bowls; the cheap way to cover lots of little things.
• Lakeland's clear set — a wide 6.5–21 cm spread if you want one set to span tiny jars up to big bowls.

Skip the PurePrep set: it's the weakest-rated of the bunch. Check each lid's stated diameter against your bowls before buying — stretch lids only seal on rims within their range.
