7 reusable beeswax wraps for food
"I purchased these for our annual family bingo party with an earth friendly theme this year. These seem really useful and reusable! Having said all of this, I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful. All of my reviews reflect my honest, personal experience with the reviewed item - your experience may be different. I am not influenced by any outside source. I receive/accept NO free products or discounts that are not available to all shoppers- ever. For some reason our shopper ranks are no longer visible - so, to give you a little more info about me, I am a top 50 reviewer (#30 the highest rank achieved). Those numbers used to fluctuate over time - up and down but I noticed that they stopped updating regularly - perhaps to phase them out. It's a shame because it did help you see who has been around the longest and who is a trustworthy reviewer. I've been doing reviews for over 25 years with Amazon - nearly 6,000 reviews posted, viewed over 50,000 times, and over 24,000 likes. I pay for all my stuff, just like you do."
Definitely Reduces Plastic Waste!
"We’ve used these wraps frequently over the past few months, and we’ve really noticed the reduction in plastic wrap use in our home.
The wrap is actually sticky, and when you first open them, they are folded and they kind of peel off each other. They leave a waxy residue on your hands which don’t come off with water, BUT just rub them into your hands like a moisturizer and it disappears! Good for your skin too as it contains jojoba oil and the like.
I use the small and medium sizes very frequently, and I’m contemplating cutting the large one into smaller pieces, as I only use the large one for loaves of bread or baguette. The wrap keeps the bread so soft, and prevents the bread from getting hard perfectly!
I use a sponge, soap and water to remove any bits of onion skin from the wax paper, but to be honest, it doesn’t work very well. I sometimes have to pick off any stuck-on pieces with my fingers.
When you hang to dry, the residue sticks on whatever rack you’re drying on. The wrap seems to absorb stains - I use one for red pepper exclusively since it’s now colored, but that doesn’t bother me. I now don’t use it for anything containing tomato sauce, just in case another one stains.
After about three months or so of use, some of the wraps are not as sticky anymore, but it still use it to close my half lemons and tomatoes and whatnot and it’s fine. I love not using so much plastic!"
