- Foil. Flaw: Foil doesn't come in circles and I end up piecing together several foil fragments and worrying about the gap that always ends up forming between them.
- Cling wrap. Flaw: This has the same non-circle problem, with the addition of the not sticking to the bowl problem.
- Kitchen towel. Flaw: The kitchen towels are dirty because I've been baking. Plus, they don't provide a tight fit.
Needless to say, when I heard about the mixing bowl covers available from Anyplace on Etsy, I did a happy dance! They are so simple and so practical that I can't understand why no one thought of them before! Plus, they are adorable! Check out the Etsy shop to see all of the current styles. I'll use my sample ones (thanks, Anyplace!) all of the time - not only for cupcake batter and frosting covering emergencies, but for bread dough and yeasted cake rising.
The covers fit all models of KitchenAid
, Breville
, and Cuisinart
(and similar mixers) and they are made from a cotton blend that is food safe and machine washable. In the photo above, you can see one on my KitchenAid bowl (in the front) and one on my Breville bowl (in the back).How to Win A Mixing Bowl Cover

Very cool giveaway! I currently use a kitchen towel to cover when baking bread, but seems like this would be much more sanitary. :)
ReplyDeleteDepending on what I am covering.... I use either parchment paper or foil
ReplyDeleteA kitchen towel, moist paper towel are my current covers, but I'm lucky if I get back to the bowl without one side collapsing into the bowl! A cover that stayed put would be heaven, not to mention look great too!
ReplyDeletethose are adorable. i usually use the press and seal stuff
ReplyDeleteOh these are much prettier and more practical than using my tea towel or a plate to cover. jennadsmith@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteDepending on what I am covering I usually just use something high tech like a baking pan because usually my kitchen towels end up dirty and usually I have a pan sitting nearby for baking. (Hey at least it keeps the fly's out right:o)
ReplyDeleteI use plastic wrap. If I'm putting it on something I know regular plastic wrap won't stick to, I use Glad Press n Seal.
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute! I usually use a kitchen towel or plastic wrap, but the plastic wrap only ever sticks to itself and my towels are generally pretty messy from baking to...
ReplyDeletehshull@csustan.edu
I currently use either foil or plastic wrap. Neither works well enough. These mixing bowl covers would make life so much easier (more colorful!) and would make covering the bowl so much quicker!
ReplyDeleteI currently use a moistened kitchen towel, which I find absolutely disgusting, as I never know what my husband or kids would have used it for at some prior point. This, with a dedicated purpose, wouldn't have been used to clean up cat barf at any point prior!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Dominique@entertainingmorsels.com
I always use a kitchen towel. It never fails when I come back to what I'm working on the kitchen towel has fallen into the bowl and I have red lint on/in my frosting or dough! The bowl cover would completely get rid of that problem! No more red fuzz in my cream cheese frosting! YAY!

I currently use foil and on a rare occassion a clean towel. I don't like either. Sometimes I will also use a cookie sheet to cover certain bowls.
These are adorable! I have been using either a kitchen towel or a cookie sheet to cover my bowls, but the towels seem to droop into the bowl, and the cookie sheets are a pain to get out from under all the other baking supplies when I'm in a hurry.
ReplyDeleteI currently use my Kitchen Aid Bowl Cover to tightly cover the bowl. But when I want it to breathe, I use a kitchen towel (I have about two dozen in a drawer so there are always clean ones handy). I find this works pretty much most of the time, but when things are chaotic, I find it difficult to keep track of which towel is for wiping my hands and which is for covering the bowl... so a dedicated breathable cover would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteI currently use a dish rag as well. Mine are far from hygienic too- :(. They have sticky toddler prints and cake bits on them. E-mail mollie.mary.garnes@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteLove the covers! If it is an emergency quick cover-up, then I will use a clean dish towel. But if I have a bit more time, I'll grab a dinner plate. The dinner plate works, but it's awkward and eventually takes up counter space. I would love a bowl cover!
ReplyDeleteI go the plastic wrap route too...which generally fails miserably! It just ends up sticking to itself, not the bowl. At least this would stay in place!
ReplyDeleteI usually use plastic wrap or a plate. Works OK, but one of these covers would work much better :)
ReplyDeletesfoster2@rochester.rr.com
These are super cute! Much more chique than the plastic shower cap variaties. For bread, I use a towel (a clean one), and for general coverage I use plastic wrap. Econo-size, restaurant type. You can find me on blogger or via the web site: www.bakeitwithbooze.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThanks!
P.S. Made your pina colada cc's today-FAB! :)
Currently, I'm using anything that comes to hand, Kitchen Foil, Kitchen Paper, sometimes even a plate.
ReplyDeleteThe Covers would be sooo much more sanitary than any of those prion, and prettier too!
I use the Press and Seal stuff. It sticks but you can only use it once. This sounds so much better. Not to mention it is a heck of a lot prettier.
ReplyDeleteI currently use a dish towel to cover my mixing bowl but because of the loose fit, I always worry that it'll slip in.. gross! These covers are much nicer! brandiadams2010@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteCling wrap. Boy do I hate the stuff....
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!

ReplyDeleteI ususally use a kitchen towel for my "ut oh the baby woke up" or "Mom..... could you help me?"
ReplyDelete(Translation: I made a big mess you need to clean up now!) Emergencies. These are so much cuter! pierce.nicnac@gmail.com
I usually use a clean, damp dishtowel......but I end up going through 3-4 towels per baking session! These would be much easier since I would (try) not to wipe my messy hands on them!
ReplyDeletemeganloraine@sbcglobal.net
I use plastic wrap or foil or those cool airtight lids with the stretchy plastic in the center. These covers would be great for bread dough or something you can put on and off in a hurry.
ReplyDeletesherri.upp@sbcglobal.net
Omg these covers are to die for! It depends on what I'm using my mixer for whether I use foil or plastic wrap. Plastic wrap falls off and foil doesn't stick appropriately. rachel(dot)metts(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteSometimes I use foil and tear off the extra at the ends to make a foil ball for the cat. It works great for the cat not so much for the bowl.
ReplyDeleteway cute and very practical- currently use foil or wax paper~ this would be way better!

ReplyDeletehmnelson15{at}gmail{dot}com
This would be awesome! I currently use plastic wrap. This would be awesome because not only would it work better but it is reusable! Love. kaylala2@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! I usually use foil when inevitably frustrates me. It'd be nice to have something more secure, especially for batters that have to chill and set!
ReplyDeletethese are soo cute! I currently use plastic wrap, but hate that it doesn't stick to all my bowls, and sometimes I use foil, which always tear so I have to get a new piece, a waste of movey that's for sure. I would love to have one of these, that's for the opportunity! Email - cassondra.reinke@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI use the dish towel as well, but I go through a million towels when I'm baking because I get a new one all the time. It's a mess to do laundry after! These covers are soo cute! The colors also match my kitchen perfectly! My email is casiebugcupcakes@yahoo.com if I'm picked.
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! And perfect for keeping out those crazy little gnats (fruit flies?) that are always sneaking into bowls this time of year! I normally use a towel too but it just doesn't do the job.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was young and learning to cook, my mom had some similar bowl covers that were sturdy plastic with elastic edges. I have also seen some thin plastic disposable ones that don't last.
Carla Field, greatpnw@olympus.net
I usually use either a towel, which are also often dirty and sometimes fall in, or plastic wrap. if its the latter then i transfer to the smallest bowl possible so i don't have to use as much wrap (and am hopefully able to cover the top with just one piece), but am always frustrated at how it doesn't stay put. my grandma uses shower caps, though!
ReplyDeletekatelinneufeld@hotmail.com
the last time i made cupcakes i made the frosting while coolig the cupcakes and i covered my frosting bowl with a soaked napkin and foil paper on top...
ReplyDeleteI use clingfilm, which isn't something I can quickly snag and cover the bowl with if my little diva suddenly wakes up wailing. These covers look awesome and extremely convenient!
ReplyDeleterieyll[at]yahoo[dot]com
I currently use paper towels, foil or a plate! Those covers are gorgeous and would be so handy! Love it!
ReplyDeleteMost of my mixing bowls are too wide for cling wrap, so I have to use two staggered pieces of it, and that's a waste and a mess. These bowl covers look perfect.
ReplyDeleteI use what ever is around...
ReplyDeleteMix covers are not only functional, they are fashionable. Isn't that what every baker whether professional or novice wants to have in their kitchen artillery? I know I want one!
Emily.U98@gmail.com
I currently use a kitchen towel, but the cover will be so much better because it is tight around the side and it is much cuter than my towels :). volley2u@aol.com
ReplyDeleteGenerally, I use plastic wrap, but like others, it tends to stick to itself rather than the bowl. A towel works well too, but these covers would be wonderful! Oooo...I hope I win! :)
ReplyDeleteFor covering bread while it rises, I use a towel, but that scares me because...I usually heat my oven up to the lowest temp, turn it off, and then put the covered bowl in the oven...therefore, I get nervous and don't want the towel to touch the rack for fear of fire. These covers would definitely take away that fear. For other things, I use plastic wrap which does not stick (as everybody knows). Again, these covers would easily solve that problem. Thanks for the great blog and ideas! debbie.tanner@att.net
ReplyDeleteWell, those are just nifty!!! I usually use a towel or whatever's to hand... if I remember to cover the bowl at all. Mmmmm, crunchy icing. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI currently use one of my ceramic dinner plates because it is round, and it covers my bowl perfectly. I think a mixing bowl cover would be perfect as it would not break like my plates
ReplyDeletecarolbugsy@gmail.com
I love this. Not only much more aesthetically pleasing, but it won't droop like a towel, or be so irritating to get in place as foil or plastic wrap. I usually use plastic wrap (I like it clear so I can see what's in it) but it's such a pain!
ReplyDeleteWhen I win (haha, just kidding) you can contact me at lirdleykur@gmail.com
This is such a great idea! I generally use cling wrap, which never lives up to its name.
ReplyDeletehannah.druckman@gmail.com
I usually try the plastic wrap or towel method--I totally agree on the difficulties!!! Sometimes I get so frustrated I don't even bother covering the bowl--SO bad I know....
ReplyDeleteThese covers are most definitely better as they don't waste any resources! Amazing idea!
email: rmjarv@gmail.com
Okay, I do not read directions well... I commented on facebook! I would totally use this, for the same reason, I am so lucky that my 4 1/2 year old naps, and she seems to always wake up in the midst of mixing.. I use the kitchen towel... I know yukie!
ReplyDeletekmeyers74@yahoo.com
Umm... and the cover would be better because it is not yuckie!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I usually use saran wrap and it doesn't stick well, so a cover like this would be so much better!
ReplyDeleteFor rising bread, I usually use the plastic bags from the produce section. They are pretty light and can easily fit a bowl. However, then you have to worry if something on the fruit is still in the bag, and now on the bread. These bowl covers would be more sanitary, easy to use, and just plain cute!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! I don't have a go-to cover-up yet! It's a toss-up between kitchen towel, plate, or going through the hassle of putting it in a tupperware and doing a whole bunch of dishes. I would love this!

ReplyDeleteI usually use plastic wrap, which I hate to do because I just throw it out at the end and dislike that waste. I like that this cover is washable so I can use it again and again.
ReplyDeleteThat would be awesome to have. Now, I just use plastic wrap, that doesn't always work. Thanks for sharing this great product with us!
ReplyDeleteI currently use plastic wrap but hate the waste. I am really into reusing things (whether bags for shopping or soap dispensers) and hate that I waste plastic wrap all the time!

ReplyDeleteYeah, I use a kitchen towel. It's gross and doesn't stay on. I KNEW someone would invent something better!!
ReplyDeleteHow very pretty! And sanitary.

As a relatively new baker, I really like the idea of having something pretty cover the bowl. Usually I use plastic wrap or whatever is handy...cutting board, plate, paper towel. This would be a very welcome change.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting and giving some away.
These are absolutely adorable! I currently use either a kitchen towel or press n seal. I don't like towels because they always shift off the top or seem unsanitary. And press n seal is fine but seems completely wasteful.
ReplyDeletecupcakegirlff @gmail.com
What a great idea. I will definitely be purchasing one of these covers whether I win the giveaway or not.
ReplyDeleteI currently use either Press n Seal or plastic wrap, but these covers would be such a great thing to have.
I use plastic wrap now but I am trying to do more to keep my family safier from chemicals so I need to get away from that first thing so the mixing bowl covers would be GREAT! Thanks for sharing this idea!
ReplyDeleteI've used it all...foil, plastic wrap, cloth, cookie sheets, plates...but I had no clue these cute covers existed! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI use Press'n Seal, which does work pretty well considering the round bowl square/rectangle issue, but I would like these better not only because they would cover better, but they are reusable, very "green." I hate putting so much plastic in my trash can.
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome! I usually toss my cake bible or bake book (my personal book of recipes) on top if i'm darting out for a minute! If i'm gone longer I typically transfer to tupperware which takes FOREVER!
ReplyDeleteThey're so cute! I currently don't use anything (I just put the container in the fridge - bad I know) so these would be an upgrade!
ReplyDeleteleab17@gmail.com
I use a KitchenAid bowl cover for my mixer bowl, which fits nice and tight, but when I whisk my dry ingredients in a separate bowl and set it aside, I cover it with a plate. This cover would be great to tuck in a drawer next to my bowls to have handy when needed.
ReplyDeleteRojoko1@aol.com
I would end oup getting out another clean towel or Press & Seal if had on hand. What a genius idea these cute covers are!My email is kanshop2@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! I use either cling film (sticks more to itself than to the actual bowl) or a tea towel (not as sanitary as I would like when baking, and I have on occasion come back to find someone has used the towel so it's not covered anymore!) so a proper cover would be a godsend!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I currently use the plastic wrap that sticks, but this is much more economical!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea! I usually end up using a wet kitchen towel for my bowls, but these are so much cuter! (And effective, I'm sure.)
ReplyDeleteI use foil but hate it! this is a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen these before - very neat! I use plastic wrap or foil to cover bowls generally, but I use a dampened kitchen towel or waxed paper to cover the bowl while letting yeast doughs rise. These bowl covers would be more sanitary and also wouldn't use up disposable products. Great giveaway, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI typically go with the whole tinfoil- spoon hanging out of the bowl approach. It doesn't work so well, but I never can find the cover that came with the Kitchen Aid...

I have one Kitchenaid that was given to us as a wedding present 35 years ago, one that was my mother in laws that is 45 yrs old ( both in the original "only" white) and a new one in red...the new one is the prettiest but the old ones are my workhorses and still are the best ones around! I do have a plate that fits perfectly...if it is clean and not sitting in the dishwasher :) Would love the covers from Etsy, my daughter's favorite site to shop on <3
ReplyDeletefalk.cj@gmail.com
Depends on what I am making and what needs to be covered. I tend to more lean on cling wrap or a kitchen towel.
ReplyDeleteI am embarrassed to say that I do use the kitchen towel! I think that these would be much better and probably a little cleaner! Thx! Beth at kckapes@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! I love these. Honestly, I use foil on my mixer bowl and it never stays! I have the same problem you do with it. And, wax paper or parchment definitely doesn't work, either.
ReplyDeleteI use a damp kitchen towel with a plate on top of that to cover my mixing bowl - this mixing bowl cover would be better in SOOOOO many ways. No worry of tipping the plate off accidentally.

ReplyDeleteI am in the kitchen towel camp and I can't stand it. My hubby has a tendency to wipe up meat-juice spills with our towels and then hang them back up like they still clean. Unless I take it straight of the dryer I never know if they are covered in E.coli or not. Spew.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure he won't try to clean up chicken bits with a cute little bowl cover.
We usually use a kitchen towel as well, and, as you noted, they are always dirty! I don't like to use cling wrap or foil because it seems wasteful. These reusable covers would be perfect and eco-friendly! harmonybear10@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThose are the greatest things EVER. I currently use a damp dishtowel if I have to cover a frosting bowl, but it's SUCH a pain. As you mentioned, they're not always clean and can be a huge pain, especially if it's the only one you have out and you have to wet it to keep the frosting from drying out and I could go on about this for DAYS. Those bowl covers are ingenius. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE these covers! I currently use plastic wrap, but I always fight with it to get it cut from the box then it never sticks to my bowls. What a headache! These covers are so handy, and CUTE!
ReplyDeleteThese are way cool! I love this idea and so much more sanitary. At the moment I use anything from a dishtowel to plastic wrap. Each has their own difficulties.

I usually go the "dirty" dish towel route. If I have it on hand, I will you Cling Wrap. Being sticky itself, it works out pretty well. However, it is no where near as cute as the mixing bowl cover you are giving away!! I love that it can be used for proofing dough as well!
ReplyDeleteI usually go the plastic wrap route, although sometimes I use a clean plate.
ReplyDeleteI use a kitchen towel. This would be so much better, as it would actually stay in place!
ReplyDeleteI usually use plastic wrap to cover whatever I'm working on, but I don't cover the bowl, I usually put it directly over whatever it is that's inside (be it dough, batter, or custard!) Of course, that gets a bit messy when its something less firm like muffin batter, and the baking bowl cover could also be used to cover rising dough! Plus, they are far more attractive than plastic wrap.
ReplyDeleteI end up using a kitchen towel or paper towel to cover my Kitchen Aid bowl but in hindsight, I don't think that's the best idea! (glitterglamgirl (at) gmail (dot) com)
ReplyDeleteHow clever and adorable! I usually use a dish towel or wax paper - neither works very well.
ReplyDeleteAwesome Giveaway! I have the same issue with the foil it drive me crazy, no I just being covering with the cutting board, Ijust put it on the top of the mixing bowl, but it still has some spaces that it does not cover!

Also, it is not as convenient as these cute covers! These covers are cool and perfect specially if you have little children who like to take off the towel
ReplyDeleteI use a plastic plate. This would be better because it would cover all around the side!
ReplyDeleteStupid plastic wrap! I need this! jetplane1231@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI use the cleanest kitchen towel I can find at that moment. This is a great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI usually use a plate to cover up my bowls. lol I don't like using the towels because I'm usually using them to clean up and wipe off and don't want them covering my food. These are a great idea.

I usually use an upside down plate or the kitchen towel to cover my mixing bowls when I am baking.
ReplyDeleteThis would be so much more convient! There have been too many times where the plate has fallen into the bowl or the towel had lovely cat hair on it...

How lovely! And handy!
ReplyDeleteI used to have a rubber band that I used with a clean kitchen towel to cover bowls. Then I lost the rubber band (I have a feeling the bf threw it away, although he won't admit it). Now I use foil. And struggle with it. And curse myself for not making a new loop of rubber band in time.
The mixing bowl cover seems so simple, and fast, and hassle free! Not to mention pretty :)
I gave up on trying to cover the bowl with plastic wrap and just started putting it directly on top of the icing. This would be much less messy! j.d.legier@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI normally use foil or cling wrap, but those covers are darling... it looks like the bowl is wearing an old-school shower/nightcap. *hee*

ReplyDeleteI use whatever I have handy A plate which more then once has fallen into the bowl because t was to small & I had to fight out. plastic wrap that sticks to everything but what you want it to, Press N seal is good stuff but hate to waste it for just a few minute job. I like a kiten towel also but if it fall then you worry about fuzzies in your frosting I think these are a great idea & give away wish I thought of them.
ReplyDeleteI currently use a kitchen towel or plastic wrap. I love the eco friendliness of the cover. I love everything I can wash.

I use cling wrap, however it never sticks to the bowl but sticks to itself instead. I love these covers, would definitely cover the bowl and fit well. Cute giveaway! :)

Super Cute Covers!
ReplyDeleteI use the Press and seal plastic wrap right now !

I usually use clean kitchen towels or plates to cover mixing bowls, but an actual bowl cover would be so much handier! Plus, my cats wouldn't be able to nudge it aside on the rare occasions when I have to leave something long enough for curiousity to win out over manners.

I use plastic wrap. But it never stays!

ReplyDeletei use a kitchen towel, but it's not nearly as cute as this cover!!

I usually use plastic wrap, but it doesn't really want to stick so this cover would be ideal! Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI actually don't use anything to cover my mixing bowls, but I probably should be - you never know what can fall in there when you're not looking! I think these covers are so cute and a much better alternative!
ReplyDeletefoil, cloth, plastic wrap, plates, whatever is closest to me. I'm picky that way ;)

Love these! What a great idea~ I use a kitchen towel usually to cover my Kitchenaid bowl. But these Mixing Bowl covers are so much cuter- I love the fabric!

I use Glad Press-n-Seal. These bowl covers are much more cute and reusable!

I either use plastic wrap (which never sticks fully) or a plate. The plate has the tendency to fall off and shatter all across my floor though, which makes my roommates none to happy! These covers are much prettier and more functional than either option!
ReplyDeleteOOO! What a great idea! I usually just cover it with a towel or a plate. This would be MUCH better! :-) jennshell678@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteHow handy and pretty are these?! I usually use a piece of waxed paper sprayed with Pam then put a Coronation Street tea towel (that I use only for covering) over the top to do the job. What a colossal pain! If I don't win one, I'm definitely ordering.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I hope I win LOL! mamashake@gmail.com
i just use a paper towel. and uh, this would be so much more awesome because it's cute.

I usually just use Saran wrap, but I can never get it to stick quite right. These covers look like they cover just right.
ReplyDeleteannamgoins@gmail.com
Right now I use a moist hand towel (for bread rising) or cling wrap. These bowl covers are great because they are reusable and stay in place! When using the hand towel it inevitably sinks down and gets stuck to the bread a little :-(
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! Right now I just use plastic wrap, but most of the time it doesn't stick to the bowl and either blows off or falls into it. The cover would be so much easier and stay on my bowl!
ReplyDeletekayla.grable@student.indwes.edu
I use plastic wrap and I hate it. It NEVER clings correctly.
ReplyDeleteliz.nelson.531 AT gmail DOT com
I use a large lid for pots/pans or plastic wrap depending on whether it'll be a quick break or an overnight type deal.
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE a proper mixing bowl cover that would be able to adjust to size.
Super cute! I use a paper towel, kitchen towel (clean), or plastic wrap. This is ingenious!
ReplyDeleteThat is cool!
ReplyDeleteI usually use a kitchen towel, but like you mentioned... they're not exactly clean :P
I usually use paper towels. I would love one of the new covers. It will be a lot more useful.
ReplyDeletecandielm@gmail.com
Sometimes I use cling wrap and then the cover of a pot... Ugh!!!
ReplyDeletehow flippin' cute are these? I currently use cling wrap. Although I think they should call it something else. All it "clings" to is itself. These covers would make it so easy to save leftovers, otherwise I end up eating them all :)
ReplyDeletevherb83@gmail.com
What a novel idea?! Here I was using whatever was nearest...cutting board, plastic wrap, kitchen towel, a small child...:)
ReplyDeleteI nearly always use cling film, works fine for me!

I literally just had this problem this weekend when my puppy had an accident in the house. I frantically looked around trying to find something to cover my bowl while needing to get my puppy outside FAST. My only solution was to stick the bowl in the refrigerated. I knew I wouldn't be gone too long, but it definitely wasn't the ideal solution. This cover would have been so much better to just grab and take care of the situation instead of having to figure out what on earth I was going to do with the frosting.

Right now I use aluminum foil or cling wrap to cover my mixing bowls. Neither really works well. The aluminum foil never has a good seal and inevitably falls off. The cling wrap always just sticks to itself and ends up in a ball, instead of covering my bowl. Those covers look amazing! Like something that would actually work.. and work well!

ReplyDeleteI currently use plastic wrap, but I would love this mixing bowl cover because it's reusable! I'm so keen on trying to be environmentally friendly so any way to save wasteful materials!!
ReplyDeleteI usually use plastic wrap, which never seems to stick to anything but itself, and it's an inconvenient shape. This would be so great! Plus, it would keep out curious and hungry eyes.
ReplyDeletea.part170@yahoo.com
awesome! i use the plastic wrap - i get the saranwraps that come in circle size but i HATE being wasteful and this cover would be perfect so i can be a little "greener" :)
