- rad_gruchalski 2y agoI do have a couple of those. They’re terrible to wash. Switched to this kind of stuff instead https://www.dm.de/profissimo-frischhaltehauben-aus-silikon-p4058172566721.html https://www.dm.de/profissimo-frischhaltehauben-aus-silikon-p... + normal cotton towels and paper for everything else.
- lurking_swe 2y agoyes they are. i use them more for covering bowls, etc. They don’t get as messy that way. This looks great for wrapping avocados, cucumbers, etc. Thanks for the tip!
