I fell in love with Saran Quick Covers (undoubtedy inspired by shower caps) and used them over and over. Apparently other people used them repeatedly, too, and didn't buy enough new ones. The company says the product was discontinued because it didn't generate enough sales. Does anyone else make such a thing?

I love those quik covers but mine are not the Saran brand. I don't remember the brand but I ordered mine from a catalog. Unfortunately, I've forgotten the name of the catalog. Next time I get one, I can post it here. Mine came in a quantity of 100, and are sized from small to large. They are perfect.

I loved the Quick Covers too. But it's hard to believe they weren't selling enough of them. Everytime I asked sales people about them, they would say they used them too, and didn't know why they weren't being restocked (Kmart, WalMart, etc.) I wonder about a product liability issue....they were one of those products, like a lot of plastic things, that posed a "may cause suffocation" issue, like the warnings you see on plastic bags. Just a thought, but I wish they'd make them again. I used them almost on a daily basis.

I bought one box of each size and never needed to buy any more. I used them over and over. Hardly ever threw one away. Maybe that's why the demand went down! Could be that they made the product TOO reliable.

You can buy the shower caps at the beauty supply store and they do the exact same thing.

See here.

That's a great idea clarebear. But since they're shower caps, and not something made for food, I wonder how "hygenic" they are. That's why I don't wash and reuse the Quick Covers. If they've been used to cover egg salad, or marinating chicken, hot water and soap doesn't clean them as sterile as the dishwasher would. And I don't think they are dishwasher "friendly."

However I see them (the Quick Covers) still for sale at several web sites. I don't know if they are actually in stock, but when I get a chance I'll see if they are still available, and if so order an ample quanity. But for the price the shower caps are very appealing!

Clare, since I used to do hair I had a huge box of the platic caps, they work just as well and are a fraction of the price, plus you can get like 100 of them.

Since you said you'd bought a similar product, I decided to look again and found some at mileskimball.com. They're simply called Bowl Covers. With postage, I got 100 for about $12. They came today. Gotta go cook too much of something so I can have leftovers! Thanks, Cindy
