Chinese cooking often involves marinating, either for half an hour or overnight. Where I live is very green and in summer we get a lot of insects (few flies, though I don't know what species they are) which like to investigate. Many marinades go in the fridge and don't get visited there, but some sit on the counter.

Also, in the fridge, aromas can transfer to other items which I don't want them to. I found a solution!
These are shower caps. But not in my shower. They live in the kitchen and nicely cover bowls containing stuff I don't want the nasties to intrude upon. The elastic collar fits tightly around my bowls, preventing ingress. The plastic doesn't touch the contents but I don't know if it would hurt if it did.
