This is a MamaBuzz Review. I was given this product for free to review from CoverMate, Inc. I was not paid or asked for a positive review. I just call ‘em like I see ‘em!
I normally wouldn’t sign up to review something in this category, but the CoverMate Food Covers intriqued me. I use lots of lidded containers to store leftovers or food for our Small Group Bible Study hosted in our home, but somethimes I have to transport food to MOPS and I want to use a pretty bowl or platter…that doesn’t have a lid. So, I akwardly wrap it in plastic wrap or aluminium foil and by the time I load and unload a toddler in the van, it’s looking anything but pretty and put together. Then, if there are leftovers that I need to take with me, I can never seem to get the plastic wrap or foil to stay put. Am I the only one with this little pet peeve?
The people at CoverMate, Inc. sent me a Free Sample Pack to try out. The sample pack has an assortment of sizes ranging from small enough to cover the mouth of a can to the extra large size. They stretch to fit your shape needs too–circle, rectangle, oblong–you name it! The CoverMate Covers are microwave safe for heating up foods AND dishwasher safe for easy clean up. I’ll admit, I was skeptical (seems like a theme with me, eh?) when I opened the package. They looked a little thin–but thicker than plastic wrap though! I stuck one in the dishwasher immediately, and was happy to find out it was still intact after the cycle. I have found them to be pretty handy in the time I’ve had them. I’ve covered a cake that I didn’t want to mess up the icing by using a lid (another one of my pet peeves), storing strawberries when I went little overboard(16 lbs!) at Aldi and had to take a break in between cutting sessions, and transporting banana bread to MOPS. I don’t think they will replace my lidded containers that stack so neatly in the fridge, but I will use them in addition to them for those akward or large things I need to cover up. I have a feeling I’ll use them much more this summer for Watermelon/BBQ’s and during the holiday season this winter.
Here’s a little video for you to watch to see some in action. Warning: It’s a little cheesy.
Price: Free Sample Pack with only $3.95 for S&H; with the sample pack, you will also receive a $1.00 off coupon for your next purchase.
