The French company Charles Viancin (whose slogan is, "Inspired by nature") has come up with these organic-looking, silicone lids styled after hibiscus blossoms. What they do is rather amazing; they seal tight, as in airtight and watertight, on any pan or bowl or container with a smooth, non-porous rim. Steel, aluminum, glass, plastic, melamine, glazed ceramic, it doesn't matter, a Hibiscus lid will seal it up so tightly, you can even lift the whole thing carefully up by the "stem" on the lid. And, because silicone is heat-proof to 450 degrees F and impervious to cold, you can use Hibiscus lids both on a hot pan on the stove and on a container of leftovers in the freezer. Odor and stain-resistant, silicone Hibiscus lids go right into the dishwasher for clean up. We think you can see all the ways Hibiscus lids will come in handy and they can take the place of disposable cling-wrap, too. On top of everything, Hibiscus lids seem to put a smile on people's faces because they just look so cool.
