Name Of

[jennyjoan]

Mary Berry covered a bowl of spices in her kitchen with something real tight (cloth not clingfilm) to keep the smell from going around her kitchen.

Anybody tell me the name please as sometimes I have to leave onions out and don't like waking to the smell of them in the morning.

Thanks

thanks barry - on reading that link - the covers are probably elastacated. Can't even spell this morning

[barry1010]

If the covers are made from muslin or cotton then they won't stop the smells. Have you seen these? Amazon.com User Recommendation

thanks Barry - do think you would need a bit of effort with those and that I don't have much strength in my hands.

Mary got that on with so much ease - there was definitely fine wire involved. Perhaps somebody made them for her.

Soak the onions in a bowl of water overnight.

JJ, I( bought some of these little casserole dishes from Argos as the lids are really east to put on and then they are airtight. I use them for all sorts of things as you can put them in the freezer or the oven and of course you can use them time and time again.
