We all have them – bowls that don’t have lids. Or maybe they have a lid but your 2 year old hid it somewhere and you can’t find it even though you’ve looked high and low. Or maybe it’s just a weird shaped bowl that a lid wouldn’t work on…..but sometimes you need to cover those bowls anyway. Enter shower caps! Yes, shower caps. They work great on any bowl that doesn’t have a lid. I like covering my bread bowls with them when I have dough rising. It keeps the bugs out….or dust….or flying magnetic letters.I love how handy they are so I always keep a good sized stash around. If one gets dirty, I might wipe it off……or I might just throw it away and get another one. Or, if I do something dumb like stab a knife through it, then I just pitch it and get a new one. They are nice to have in case of a lid emergency. |
They really work great for covering a trifle dish! You know, they sell almost this exact thing at the store – bowl bonnets or something like that. However, they aren’t really cheap when you consider what it is…..and they’re usually pretty small. I’m not sure about you but I”m not really looking to cover a bunch of small bowls. So, the next time you’re on vacation (or your husband is on a business trip), grab the freebie shower cap at the hotel. Well, unless you’re going to use it on your head – then you probably don’t want to cover your trifle with it. Try sweet talking the clerk at the front desk or bribe her with some homemade cookies to see if she’ll hook you up. |

I have a friend who makes these type of covers out of cloth- she sent me some as a gift too- just elastic, a fun printed cotton, and some ripstop nylon, and it’s machine wash and dry, and very sturdy! (The nylon is foodsafe and water resistant
What a great gift! 🙂
They do not, however, keep out squirrels.
Amanda, excellent point. 🙂
