Appliance covers

[Sanity Claws]

Do you ever use appliance covers?

I got my toaster out the other day after not using it for months. It was so dusty that I had to clean it up before I could use it. I remember having blender and toaster covers years ago but they no longer seem to be in fashion. Have you seen them in use or on sale anywhere?
Am I hopelessly old-fashioned? I prefer to think of myself as work-adverse and would prefer to remove a cover than clean the dust off appliances.

1. I used to have them, and use them.

I stopped because it was just another thing to find a place for when I wanted to use the appliance it was covering.

Besides, it needs cleaning too, to look good.

I guess it depends on how much space you have for storage of the cover, and how strongly you feel about keeping it clean.

2. I seem to recall some, somewhere,

maybe when I was growing up? Would really like a teapot cozy for my short and stout tea pot, but that's about all.

5. elleng, go to amazon.com and look for "tea cozy" and there are lovely ones MADE IN THE USA.

I think I am going order the blue/white one from Thistledown. There are all sorts of other colors and from other vendors (just google it).

3. I use plastic bags

I keep a crock pot out on a porch as it just doesn't fit anywhere in the kitchen, so I put one of those huge green fresh vegetable bags from the produce dept over it. ugly, but then I can toss it when I use the crock pot.
