FAQs

How do I clean the food covers?

You can wipe the covers clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these could damage the insulation lining.

What are the exact dimensions of the covers?

The set includes two covers, both 15cm high. The large cover has a diameter of 41cm, and the small cover has a diameter of 35.5cm.

Can these covers be used in the microwave or oven?

No, these food covers are not designed for use in a microwave or oven. They are intended for maintaining existing food temperatures and protecting food from pests.

How effective are they at keeping food hot?

They offer thermal insulation to help retain heat for a moderate period, reducing the need for frequent reheating. They are most effective when used with food that is already hot.

Are these covers suitable for transporting food?

Yes, they can help maintain food temperature during short transports, such as taking a dish to a friend's house or on a picnic. However, for very long journeys or extreme temperatures, additional insulation might be needed.

What material are the covers made from?

The covers are lined with metallic silver foil polystyrene insulation and feature a sprung design for easy pop-up functionality.

Can I buy these covers individually?

This product is sold as a set of two. Please refer to the product listing for availability of individual items or different set sizes.

Troubleshooting

Cover does not pop open fully

Ensure the cover is not obstructed and is being released from a fully collapsed state. Gentle shaking might help if it's slightly stuck.

Cover does not stay flat when pressed

Apply firm, even pressure to the top and sides. The internal spring mechanism is designed to resist full collapse, so a consistent press is needed.

Food temperature not maintained as expected

Ensure the cover is fully sealed around the platter. For longer durations or extreme temperatures, pre-chill or pre-heat food thoroughly before covering.

Insects are still getting under the cover

Check for any gaps around the base of the platter or where the cover meets the table. Ensure the cover is properly centered and covers the entire platter.
