Field expedient

Makes perfect sense to me

I was thinking:

- if fruit is too big for plate, pot lid might be required
- but, doing without pot lid might be inconvenient, I have a lot of plates so plates are handy when they fit.

Re the other person's comment, yes I also use food containers to store cut fruit, when a plate is too big. Convenient for juicy things too as they have deep sides.

Anyway, it is very encouraging to hear about all these ways to avoid plastic!
Go us!

There is hope yet.

Granted it took up more shelf space on the fridge shelf, so I like this idea, either with a pan lid, or an inverted plate.

Yes we refrigerate cut melons face down on plates, works great. Of course we eat them pretty fast too! Not much time to dry out.

Onions and tomatoes go face down in plastic tubs without lids.

That's how god intended it. Why else would the sizes of melon and pot lid match so well?

Another idea: put cut fruit cut-side down on a plate.

I will take it!
