For an eco-conscious home cook or baker, there are few feelings worse than tearing off a big piece of plastic wrap to cover a food container, knowing that it'll only be thrown in the trash after that one use. That's why I suggest taking a look at CoverMate's reusable stretch-to-fit food covers, which have built-in elastic bands that allow them to fit snugly over plates, bowls, and containers of all shapes to keep food fresh.

Made from BPA- and PVC-free materials, these shower cap-like covers can be washed (either by hand or machine) and reused again and again. You can use them in the microwave, which is super handy for keeping splatter at bay, and they've even got a corner vent for letting steam escape in the process. I also like that they're still see-through so you can see what's inside.

One use-case I don't often see being advertised for these is that they work quite well for keeping bread dough moist while it rises.

Each variety pack includes 8 covers — 1 small, 4 medium, and 3 large — and they're sold in sets of three:

• One 3-pack ($13)
• Two 3-packs ($20)
• Three 3-packs ($45)
