In some embodiments, a cooking vessel cover device may include a body with a perimeter, upper surface, and lower surface. The body may be made from a flexible material so that portions of the body may flex to allow the device to move between the closed position and the open position. The perimeter and/or portions of the body bounded by the perimeter may contact the upper terminus of a cooking vessel when the device is in a closed position so that the perimeter and the body may be in a generally flat planar orientation. An aperture, which may be configured to receive portions of a food preparation apparatus and which may be disposed within the body, may pass through the upper surface and lower surface, thereby allowing the food preparation apparatus to operate with the cooking vessel cover in the closed position and the open position. A positioning fastener may be coupled to the body which is configured to be removably coupled to one or more objects thereby securing the device in an open position.
