ABSTRACT:
A method and device are provided to secure a lid to a teapot or other food and beverage container and to prevent dripping therefrom. The device for use with a teapot includes a loop of elastic cord, with a hook and a sponge attached to the cord. The sponge is positioned under the spout of the teapot so that it will absorb drips from the spout. The loop is stretched over the lid of the teapot and the hook is attached to the teapot handle. Two sliding retainers are located around the loop between the sponge and the hook, and may be positioned around a knob on the top of the lid. Sliding the retainers adjusts the tension on the loop. The retainers are decorative, and may also be adorned with standard button covers. Different food and beverage containers may require modifications, such as using a cord with two hooks instead of a hook and a sponge.
