Can plastic wrap really keep you fresh?

Disposable plastic cling film is a frequent customer in the kitchen.

Wrap the bread that hasn't finished breakfast with cling film at will;

Cover leftover food with a layer of cling film and put it in the refrigerator;

The vegetables bought from the supermarket are also wrapped in a shiny plastic jacket.

Can plastic wrap really keep you fresh? Not necessarily.

Many cling films are prone to breakage, and covering them is equivalent to not covering them.

When we handle ingredients, the cutting board, knife, and our hands are all prone to contamination. After contamination, touching the cling film and covering it with watermelon or various fruits can indirectly contaminate the fruits.

At this point, the function of cling film is like the lid of our culture agent, allowing bacteria to grow exceptionally vigorously.

Moreover, cling film is a disposable product that can be thrown away immediately after use, and one or two bottles need to be purchased every few months, which is not environmentally friendly.

The plasticizer inside is easy to migrate when heated or in contact with oil, which can have a negative impact on our body.

In recent years, many seabirds and marine organisms have contracted "plastic disease"

A while ago, when I talked to my mom about this matter, she recalled that in the past, using newspapers and damp cloth could keep it fresh.

By chance, I remembered seeing in a documentary before that many foreign housewives were using a magical cling cloth - it can seal, preserve freshness, has natural ingredients, and can be reused.

Packaged bread and sandwiches, convenient and aesthetically pleasing:

Endless meals can be preserved by placing them in the refrigerator with chilled cold dishes and sugar water.

In short, you can confidently hand over fruits and vegetables, fermented bread, bowls and plates filled with food, and so on to it for preservation.

The key is that it is washable and reusable, making it worth a try from both a cost performance perspective and a perspective of protecting the Earth!

I have brought you a combination of sets:

Style 1: The three piece set includes three different sizes of cling wrap, which is sufficient for daily use;

Style 2: Each package is a whole roll, and everyone can cut according to their own needs.

This beeswax fresh-keeping cloth sells for over 70 yuan per piece on a foreign website, which is too expensive and not cheap at all.

Allow ingredients to breathe freely and use multiple items

A regular plastic wrap is like putting an airtight plastic jacket on food.

This cling wrap, like lemon peel, onion peel, and cheese crust, not only isolates food from air and dust, but also allows ingredients to breathe naturally and stay fresh.

Especially for ingredients like fresh shiitake mushrooms, they themselves release moisture and carbon dioxide.

Using beeswax preservation cloth for storage and retaining some ventilation openings can prevent shiitake mushrooms from oxidation, sourness, moisture, and decay, while also preventing water loss.

The key is that its appearance is also something I genuinely like.

The colorful patterns are pleasing to the eye just by looking at them, almost replacing my plastic wrap.
In addition to directly wrapping the ingredients, you can also add a lid to the dishes like using cling film.

It can also be folded into a bag shape, which is great as a vegetable bag, bread bag, breakfast bag, etc
