A giveaway from Lavish & Lime

Edited to add: We have a winner. Thanks for your entries!
Lavish & Lime, one of the sponsors here at the Fishbowl, sent me some new CoverFlex food covers to try out.
I had actually never heard of these things before. They’re intended to be used as an alternative to plastic wrap and aluminum foil. The CoverFlex is made out of food-grade silicone and there are three sizes in each package. They’re stretchy, so they can cover any kind of container.
At first I wasn’t sure how this would work, but I was quickly converted once I realized how handy these are.
Exhibit A) Although the girls use plastic containers for their lunches I don’t really like to store leftovers in plastic. And I don’t have very many food storage containers (glass or otherwise) because storage space is a huge issue for us. (I need storage for storage, how ironic!)
Can I give you an example of when these came in handy? We had fajitas for dinner last week. When we were cleaning up I just left the fried onions in the little ceramic bowl I had served them in, pulled a small CoverFlex cover over the bowl and popped it into the fridge. Cleanup, done.
Exhibit B) Reheating those onions was a snap. The covers can go from the fridge to the microwave, which I love. (Besides, according to the experts plastic wrap shouldn’t come in contact with food, especially when heating it up in the microwave.) The covers can go in the freezer and even the oven (up to 446°F).
Exhibit C) Due to their stretchyness they provide a snug fit and are airtight.
