ABSTRACT:
A reusable cover or lid and container comprising a cover having a lid tray and a peripheral flange, the lid tray having a top face and a bottom face and side walls that are substantially perpendicular to the top face and bottom face of the lid tray, the side walls having an outside surface and an inside surface, the peripheral flange having outside and inside walls, the inside surface of the side walls of the lid tray being complementary to and adapted to fit around the outside walls of the peripheral flange to form a first interface fit, the lid tray and the peripheral flange connected by a hinge, so that the angle between the lid tray and the peripheral flange can be altered and the first interface fit can be made or disengaged as desired, a container defining a cavity, the container having a bottom and outside walls and a rim that defines an opening to the cavity, the peripheral flange being complementary to and adapted to fit around the outside walls of the container and abut against the rim of the container to form a second interface fit, the second interface fit made when the peripheral flange is slid along the outside walls of the container until it abuts against the rim of the container.
