I’m Putting a Lid on It
No, I have not taken a vow of silence. Don’t get so excited Gap, husband, family, guy on the subway trying to read his book. I am talking about using plates as lids for the microwave and fridge. I’m sure the rest of the world has already discovered this highend technology, but I’m a little slow. You too can learn my easy plastic wrap reduction method.
- Step 1:Place lid on top of bowl with food before heating or putting it in the fridge.
- Step 2: Remove lid before eating. (Now that is the tricky one.)
If you need further assistance you can attend my 2 week seminar How to Put Things On Other Things.
I knew the microwave one, but, wow, it also works in the fridge???
I haven’t used plastic wrap probably in over a year, but I forget plates can also cover things in the fridge. (insert eyeroll at self here)
One caution – watch the temps on the plates. Some of mine get really hot in the micro – I have even burned myself. But at least the food was still cold.
Orgie, you are the funniest. Don’t ever put a lid on your mouth … I mean, your fingers. I mean, whatever. You know what I mean.
Ha. I was just talking to my sister about not using plasticwrap in the nuker. It can leach nasty shit into your food and make your son grow boobies and such. Don’t do it, man. Ever!
What do you suggest for clumsy people? You know, those of us who break the plates when they fall off the leftovers while being retrieved from the fridge? Seriously, I have broken a couple that way…
Chile…you may need to attend my 2 week seminar.
Thanks so much for the laugh. I love the plate method myself. I was already laughing before I got to the “two week course” part. Now people are staring at me.
I have many of those funky, old refrigerator dishes that I pick up at garage sales or on ebay or whatever. Those are nice, too.
