The present invention provides a spill-proof container having a two-pan el cover such that an upper panel is stationary, while a lower panel is enabled for rotational motion relative to the upper panel. As each panel has an aperture in it, and the lower panel provides a device for manual actuation of the rotational motion of the lower panel relative to the upper panel, the invention enables one to reach inside of the container when the lower aperture is positioned by the rotativ e motion adjacent to the upper aperture. Therefore, the food is held fresh and protected from exposure to the undesirable moisture or dryness of the fresh air, while it i s easily accessible without removal of the container's cover. This objective is furth er enhanced by a resilient, snap-action engagement of an L-shaped annular container cover rim with the top annular rim of the container. Additionally, the lower panel aperture is provided with a flexible surface which is split by radial slits into flexible fingers. The flexible fingers are such that they are capable of bending into the container when a hand reaches inside of the container for food, and resiliently return to their initial planar position, automatically closing the container when t he hand is removed. Consequently, no food will spill out if the containeris tilted too far or accidentally tipped over.
