Covers for Storing Pots & Pans?

Charlie Chapman said:

I'm looking for a source for cloth (or plastic) covers for Pots & Pans. Similar to covers that you
can find for toasters. I need to store a few pots on an open set of shelves and would like to have
covers for them to minimize dust collection, etc. Any tips/suggestions appreciated.

Either find shower caps or store them upside down?

Shower caps. Or cloth ones for sleeping with curlers.

What you want might be available at a cookwares store. On the other hand, why not just drape a towel
over the pots and pans?

But then you're going to have to clean the covers. As Peg Bracken said of toaster dust covers, "I
never made a dusty piece of toast in my life."

I could tell you the story of the cucarachas I cleaned out of the toaster at a house we rented in
Puerto Peñasco, but you can pretty much guess how it went.

Though I don't think a cover would have helped, as the base was a plate with a wide ventilation
ridge all the way around it.

All my cookware is stored in a pantry, with most of the pots nested (saves space), some as many as
four deep, with the largest covers on top, but not so much to keep dust out as a place to keep the
larger lids. And even though my pots are in a closed pantry, still I rinse my pots before use...
when you live with six hairy cats you rinse. So why would anyone need pot cozys... maybe the OP
lives in schmutz and cooks maybe once a year.

I've got you beat hands down on the number of kitties in the house. <G>

I store all my pots and pans either in a cabinet, or extra ones go into the oven. I don't bake or
roast very often so it's an ideal empty space and convenient to the stove.

Still tho', IF I had to store pots on a high shelf, I like the shower cap idea. It's cheap. It is
difficult to nest pots and store them face down.

If you think that neutered toms don't spray... That is a myth. He'd be best off with all
spayed females.

True, but anyone who has that many cats in an enclosed environment has to have a abode that smells
like cat urine. I know from experience, having had cats and dogs. Animals stink your house, no
matter how many times you wash them, or how much of a clean freak you are.

I can always detect that "stench" when I visit a house with a cat or dog.

The problem is that people that have these pets, get accustomed to the smell, hence, they get used
to it and don't perceive it after a while.

Granted, but spayed females don't spray the walls. ;-)

I have several cats so I cannot argue. We clean litter boxes daily and wash the astroturf that is
under them with vinigar weekly, and use Arm and Hammer deoderant liberally, but can only keep the
smell to a minumum.

It does not "reek" per se', but I think that anyone can tell we still have pets. But, it's not
overwhelming and most people that are smokers don't notice it at all! Their clothes smell worse than
my house ever dreamed of even if it's right before box cleaning time!

Birds are nearly as bad...

I've seen "new" shower-cap type elastic-edge covers advertised on TV for food-storage, but can't
recall the brand or name. I'm pretty sure it isn't 'shower cap.' :-) However, as I posted
previously, this is just another layer to clean. What are you going to do with the cover when you
get out a pot? My frequently-used pots (some in cupboards; some hanging on the wall) don't gather
dust. The seldom-used ones do. When I need to use one that's dusty, I give it a quick rinse. Easier
than removing a cover to get to the pot, then washing the pot AND cover before replacing 2 items
instead of 1.

To the OP, dust happens. Also spiderwebs and dead moths. :-) Just seems to me easier to clean
it/them from *one* surface than two.

They're Saran Wrap -- rather ironic since Saran Wrap was supposed to replace those heavy plastic
shower cap type bowl covers that we used back in the 50s & 60s.

I've used them over the holidays to cover plates & bowls of food I was taking to my dad in the
hospital. They're quick and easy, and reusable -- although I must admit I don't like washing them.

That may be true in many cases, but I think I've been lucky. I have a neutered male (age 5) and a
spayed female (age 11). Neither have ever sprayed anything. They both unfailingly use their
litterboxes, and there is absolutely no odor in our house as evidenced by numerous non-pet owner
aquaintances who don't even know we own cats.

You only have 2. Shel' has 6 and I have far more than that...

You have a compatible pair. And, short of dumping litter boxes twice per day, with 6 cats, there is
bound to be a mild litterbox odor. There are ways to keep it to a minimum, but not eliminate it. Not
totally anyway unless you keep them outside which is 'rong...

I actually get quite a few compliments from folks that know how many cats I currently care for on
just how good the house smells. ;-)

We used to do cat rescue, (we quit) but ended up with a number of adults that were not re-homable.
Most of those are over 12 years of age now.

I just buried one of my favorite old tomcats last week. :-( Jasper was my #1 son and a face kitty...
<sigh> He had hyperthyroidism and the medications just did not control it well. That makes 3 elderly
cats I've lost in the past year. <sigh> it sux.

And of course you're all assuming that the cats are indoors and use litterboxes? My cats used a
small pet door to go outside (and inside again) at will. They much rather sit outside on the porch.

You're quite right, I have a compatible pair. As I said, I'm lucky.

I really am sorry for your recent loss, and earlier losses. It hurts, I know. For every pet I've
lost over the years, my heart has broken over and over.
