You might think that most housewives throw away the lids from plastic jars of sour cream. This is quite logical, but experts still advise to save them. As it turned out, these lids can become indispensable assistants for housewives in the kitchen. Don't believe it? But you can use them instead of traditional lids that cover glass jars.
The benefits of sour cream lids
This method of using plastic lids becomes especially relevant when you don’t have special lids for jars at home. Most sour cream lids have a universal size, so they can be used for different types of jars. They will perfectly close the container, which you can then put on the shelf in the refrigerator and not be afraid that it will smell unpleasant.
Of course, you can't use plastic bottles for canning in glass jars, but that's not what they're for. Such lids will be ideal for storing milk, juices, and other products that you've placed in a container that "fits" their diameter. This way, you can even reduce the burden on the family budget, because you won't have to buy metal lids.
You don't have to buy new lids that get lost or broken, or spend money on containers. Speaking of caring for the environment, this life hack is also eco-friendly. You don't throw away plastic to pollute the planet - instead, you can reuse it to minimize the demand for the material.
