Contest: Keep a Lid On

Top This [1]

I’m all for being direct, but there are situations when silence is golden. Recently, after a quarrel, I wrote a heated email to a neighbor, but had the good sense not to press send. A few hours later, the situation got resolved. I was so glad to have held back. To enter today’s contest, name a time when it was wise for you to keep a lid on. The prize is my new favorite kitchen gadget,
TOP THIS [1] from Rachael Ray. I don’t have a large kitchen, so each tool has to serve a good purpose. This set of 3 silicone lids fits a variety of containers and creates an airtight seal for storing items in the refrigerator or freezer. They’re flexible, yet sturdy, safe in the microwave and dishwasher and have minimized my use of aluminum foil and plastic wrap. Even if you don’t cook, they’re great for stowing and heating up takeout. I reach for them every day.
