- How do these lids seal?
- They are stretchable silicone covers that pull taut over a rim and hold by suction and tension. Press down the center so the air escapes for a tighter hold.
- Can they go in the microwave and freezer?
- Silicone handles both, so the same lid can cover leftovers in the fridge, go into the freezer, or vent a bowl in the microwave. Lift an edge when heating to let steam out.
- Will they fit my bowls?
- They come as a variety pack of different widths, and the silicone stretches, so one lid covers a range of rims. Very wide bowls or thick, heavily rimmed ones are the hardest to seal.
- How do I clean them?
- Wash by hand or on the top rack of a dishwasher. Rinse well and let them dry fully, since silicone can pick up smells from strong foods and soap.
- How do they compare with plastic wrap?
- They cost more up front but are reused many times, so they replace roll after roll of wrap. Plastic wrap still clings better to wet or oily rims and to very large openings.
- Are they safe for direct food contact?
- They are food-grade silicone meant for contact with food. The brand gives no chemical disclosure, so check the packaging if you need specifics.
