We asked readers of the Recipe Box blog to identify the kitchen items pictured. Here are some of the guesses:
‘‘Food hats to put over dishes to keep bugs out’’
‘‘Bowl bonnets’’
‘‘Soup socks’’
Unlike last week’s item, many people knew that these are stretch wraps, used to make working with lemon halves and wedges easier. They sell for $4.50 at Different Drummer’s Kitchen. This week’s randomly selected winner is Pam Wobrock.
Check out the Recipe Box (http:blog.timesunion.com/recipebox) on Friday for another item. Take a guess at its purpose, and you could win the item. You do not have to guess correctly to win.

the “What’s That” item for March 8th is an item used to cover half a lemon to contain seeds when squeezing the juice from it.
