Amazon Shoppers Swear By Stasher’s Silicone Stretch Lids

Leftovers are as much a part of my Thanksgiving experience as apple pie and my grandma’s stuffing. I’m always reminded of that episode of Friends where Ross lashes out at work because someone ate the sandwich (turkey with an extra slice of gravy-soaked bread in the middle). I would also freak out if my hotly anticipated leftovers vanished.  

Alas, there’s not much I can do to stop my hungry, bored husband from raiding our refrigerator. What I can control is how I store my leftovers to keep them from spoiling. In the past, this meant using single-use plastic wrap, which is bad for the environment, my wallet, and my health. This year, I’m acquiring Stasher’s silicone stretch lids instead. 

Stasher Premium Silicone Stretch Lids Variety Pack, Set of 4

Just like the brand’s clever silicone bags (which happen to be an editor-favorite at Food & Wine), these lids are reusable and dishwasher-safe. This means they’re a great option if you’re searching for a way to reduce your reliance on single-use plastic in your kitchen. But unlike the bags (which hold food), these lids are designed to fit over bowls, melons, and more. The variety pack offers the best bang for your buck, with a 9-inch lid that stretches to fit a 12-inch container, a 6.5-inch lid that stretches to 9 inches, a 4.5-inch lid that stretches to 6 inches, and a 2.5-inch lid that stretches to 4 inches. 

What appeals to me most about Stasher’s silicone lids is that I wouldn’t have to transfer a slice of pie to a new food storage container or dirty a bag to hold half a lemon. Instead, I could cover the dish and the fruit with the properly sized lids and throw them both in my refrigerator — which is exactly what hundreds of Amazon shoppers do. While one reviewer swore by their “airtight seal,” a second stated that they “can’t live without” them. They called the Stasher variety pack “super versatile,” writing that they “clean easily, keep food super fresh, and stick better than cling wrap.”

With Thanksgiving leftovers calling to me from my refrigerator, the time is ripe for me to grab the Stasher Premium Silicone Stretch Lids Variety Pack. They can’t protect food from my husband, but they can keep it fresh for longer.
