Most buyers speak positively of silicone covers. The hostess claim that the products are applicable in combination with any dishes. Well behaved at low and high temperatures. Bowls are closed tightly and tightly, the liquid does not leak.
Steadily tolerate washing in the dishwasher. For manual cleaning, it is easy to rinse with water and a soft, soapy sponge. The latter is true if covered with fatty foods.
Many customers note that the lid is attached to fatty bowls only if it is degreased beforehand. Otherwise, the material is not fixed, slips.
From the negative aspects of the hostess note that when storing the container with such a lid in the refrigerator or in any other place you can not put any other dishes on it.
When using square film covers, you need to stretch the product in opposite directions and apply it on the dishes. One hand to attach to the edge and fix. Continuing to hold one edge, you need to impose a second. This method of use ensures high-quality closing products with covers of this type.
Buyers believe that it is much easier to use silicone products with sides, like a classic lid: it is easier to adjust the tension, fix the edges.
Standard kits contain 1 large, 2 medium and 1 small covers. Thus, one set of covers is enough for use with a variety of dishes.
