As we all try to save money in any number of ways, we are always on the lookout for new products that might solve a simple problem. We consider plastic wraps wasteful and fear using them in the microwave (for good reason).

Worry no more. A new product, CoverMate Food Covers are just that: Covers. They may be the perfect solution to storage anxiety. That means they can fit tightly over a bowl, dish, platter or whatever item is holding leftovers: No need to transfer food to another container. Besides their reusability, they also solve the microwave problem as they are microwave safe and have built-in vents that let steam escape during the reheating process.
To allay the greatest worry, they are BPA, latex, and PVC-free.
No more plastic wrap that promises to unroll easily and not stick to itself. These covers stretch-to-fit.
Food storage and food safety all in one simple marketing tool!
