Lilypad Lid - Extra Large 13"

I first saw these Charles Viancin Lily Pads in a local magazine showing new kitchen products a few months ago. I was happy to find that Amazon carried them in all different colors, styles and sizes. I ordered the green Lily Pad (I think this was the original) in the 11 inch size which fits my big mixing bowls,  Corelle Livingware 2-Quart Serving Bowl, Winter Frost White  that I use to microwave frozen vegetables and even several of my large pots and pans.These are my new favorite kitchen accessory because they are so useful. When you set them on top of any smooth surface they create a tight seal. (They also stick to granite countertops!) But lift them from the edge and they remove easily. They go from oven to stovetop to refrigerator without any problem. I've set mine on top of a large pot of chili to get it from splattering on the stove as it cooked. It formed such an airtight seal that I could pick the pot up by the little stem handle on top. I wouldn't really try to carry it anywhere because it would be easy to drop it and make a big mess, but it was cool to see how tight the seal was. As the chili began to boil it lifted slightly around the edges to let the steam out, but not enough that it spattered on the stove. Even with a tight seal, just lifting the edge removes the lid because the silicone is soft and flexible.These are wonderful in the microwave for steaming fresh vegetables in a bowl or thawing frozen vegetables and heating them. I also use them for heating refried beans which can spatter. They're great for covering bowls at a picnic or BBQ or storing food in the refrigerator. The only thing to watch out for in the frig is that they don't bump up against other containers so the seal is broken. I've used one of these over the flat cut side of a watermelon to keep it fresh. It's silicone and food safe. They are dishwasher safe but they rinse off so easily it takes only seconds to wash them by hand.I liked the Lily Pad so much that I ordered these in the same size  Charles Viancin 1201 Hibiscus Lid Large, Pink  and  Charlies Viancin - Pumpkin Lid - Large 11"  and several others in the medium and small sizes. I needed a rectangular one and ordered this:  Charles Viancin Banana Leaf Lid, Large Rectangular . I guess you can tell that I really like these. I use them practically every day for one thing or another. I have the round ones hanging on the side of my refrigerator with these little  Command Small Plastic Hooks Value Pack, 6-Hook . They would make a great gift for any cooks on your list.

Now I have 4 sizes, would have 5 but Amazon was out of stock. These are great, keep veges warm on the table, attractive, microwaveable, durable. Somewhat pricey but I understand as they last a very long time. Ibuse the smallest ones for covering hot drinks++

If you're like me, you may think saran wrap was invented as a cruel joke. Every time I need to cover a bowl to put in the fridge, I have to weigh how much I want to save the bowl contents vs. how much energy I have to wrestle with the sticky plastic from hell.These lids have single-handedly saved numerous leftovers from the trash and also lowered my blood pressure. With a full set of lids, just grab one that somewhat fits whatever you're trying to cover and you're good to go in less than a second.They create a perfect seal and reduce trash from disposable coverings. Easy to wash, too, and super cute!Oh, and you can cook with them - no more digging through the lid drawer to find which one fits the pot you're looking cooking in. Buy these for yourself, buy more as gifts - they're worth every penny and you won't regret it.Like most people, I rely on honest product reviews to make purchase decisions. Because the experience of others has been so helpful to me, I try to provide honest, helpful reviews to assist other shoppers in selecting the right products for them. I hope my review has been helpful to you!

A friend has had some of these for a while and I finally realized just how useful she found them to be in the kitchen. They're an ideal temporary cover and they stick well to metal and glass. In the end I ordered some for myself and I'm very pleased with them. They're good quality and have some heft, which I like, and are just so simple that they appeal to the low-tech side of my kitchen personality.

The lids are very attractive, they work well. They are easy to clean and they are very practical. I only wish the various sizes would be sold separately because some sizes are more useful than others. I suspect that which ones are used most would vary from household to household.

Love using these instead of covering bowls with plastic wrap. They seal perfectly, are durable, and look chic on many kinds of bowls.

I’ve had this for a long time and lately I’ve been using it when I make bread. I put the dough in a greased bowl, and this works great to cover it instead of wasting plastic wrap or getting a towel dirty. The suction isn’t strong enough to lift this old-school bowl, but the point isn’t to carry things around with it.I also use it to cover bowls in the fridge. I like the large size. It has held up well after several years.

Evita salpicaduras en el microondas. Mantiene caliente los alimentos. Se lava fácilmente con agua y jabón. Es muy bonita!

I thought it was made in France, it turns out that it is made in China. The quality is excellent. I have another one the same price made in the US, but it is moody. This one is reliably well seal. Will buy the smaller size to complete the set.

Love it. Perfect to cover a half cut melon, or bread when proofing. Wish it is sold in Uk as well

It is just as what it claims as far as quality of silicone goes and the overall finish and durability.

Works great on our largest bowls. Use instead of Saran Wrap when raising dough for our breads. Only complaint was delivery time was excessive. Had to wait at least a month, but worth it in the end.
