Reusable food covers

A cover for covering food comprising:

• a base;
• a flexible wall having a first section extending upwardly from the base and surrounding the base, the flexible wall having a second section that is flat and extends horizontally such that the second section is parallel with the base, wherein the second section extends radially inwardly from the first section, wherein a radially inner edge of the second section defines an opening, and wherein the base and the flexible wall form a chamber;
• wherein the first section of the flexible wall includes a first end region attached to the base and a second end region spaced from the first end region, the first section having a radially inner surface facing the chamber, and the first section having a radially outer surface disposed opposite the radially inner surface;
• wherein the second section of the flexible wall is attached to the second end region of the first section;
• wherein the first section has a first thickness, the second section has a second thickness, and the base has a third thickness, wherein the first thickness of the first section is greater than the second thickness of the second section, and wherein the third thickness of the base is in between the first thickness and the second thickness so that the third thickness is less than the first thickness but greater than the second thickness;
• wherein the second section of the flexible wall is more flexible than the first section of the flexible wall;
• and
• wherein the second thickness of the second section of the flexible wall allows the opening defined by the radially inner edge of the second section to expand as food is inserted into the cover.

A set of covers for covering food comprising:

• a first cover, comprising:
• a first base;
• a first flexible wall having a first section extending upwardly from the first base and surrounding the first base, the first flexible wall having a second section that is flat and extends horizontally such that the second section of the first flexible wall is parallel with the first base, wherein the second section of the first flexible wall extends radially inwardly from the first section of the first flexible wall, wherein a first radially inner edge of the second section of the first flexible wall defines a first opening, and wherein the first base and the first flexible wall form a first chamber;
• wherein the first section of the first flexible wall includes a first end region attached to the first base and a second end region spaced from the first end region of the first flexible wall, the first section of the first flexible wall having a first radially inner surface facing the first chamber, and the first section of the first flexible wall having a first radially outer surface disposed opposite the first radially inner surface;
• wherein the second section of the first flexible wall includes a first flat outer surface facing opposite the first chamber, and wherein the first radially outer wall of the first section of the first flexible wall and the first flat outer surface together form a first continuous outer surface of the first cover;
• wherein the first section of the first flexible wall has a first thickness, the second section of the first flexible wall has a second thickness, and the first base has a third thickness, wherein the first thickness of the first section of the first flexible wall is greater than the second thickness of the second section of the first flexible wall, and wherein the third thickness of the first base is in between the first thickness and the second thickness so that the third thickness is less than the first thickness but greater than the second thickness;
• wherein the first cover has a first total height defined between the first base and the first flat outer surface;
• and
• a second cover, comprising:
• a second base;
• a second flexible wall having a first section extending upwardly from the second base and surrounding the second base, the second flexible wall having a second section that is flat and extends horizontally such that the second section of the second flexible wall is parallel with the second base, wherein the second section of the second flexible wall extends radially inwardly from the first section of the second flexible wall, wherein a second radially inner edge of the second section of the second flexible wall defines a second opening, and wherein the second base and the second flexible wall form a second chamber;
• wherein the first section of the second flexible wall includes a first end region attached to the second base and a second end region spaced from the first end region of the second flexible wall, the first section of the second flexible wall having a second radially inner surface facing the second chamber, and the first section of the second flexible wall having a second radially outer surface disposed opposite the second radially inner surface;
• wherein the second section of the second flexible wall includes a second flat outer surface facing opposite the second chamber, and wherein the second radially outer wall of the first section of the second flexible wall and the second flat outer surface together form a second continuous outer surface of the second cover;
• wherein the second cover has a second total height defined between the second base and the second flat outer surface;
• wherein the second height is less than the first height and the second base is smaller than the first base so that the second cover can be nested within the first chamber of the first cover;
• and
• wherein the first opening has an inner diameter that is smaller than an outer diameter of the first cover formed by the second radially outer surface of the first cover, wherein first cover retains the second cover between the first base and the second section of the first flexible wall.
