This Simple Plastic Wrap Hack Will Make Your Kitchen Life Much Easier
6th November 2018
It may sound silly, but try storing your plastic wrap in the freezer instead of tossing it in a drawer or cupboard. The cold temperature alters the polyethylene at the molecular level, which helps to remove the static and stickiness.
You may be wondering, “But isn’t that the point of cling wrap—to, well, cling to things?” Yes, that’s true. However, the freezer only temporarily changes the properties of the plastic wrap, giving you enough time to rip a sheet off and cover your leftovers with it while the material is still cool. Once the plastic wrap warms up, it will go back to its old, clingy self.
Haven’t tried it yet, although I intend to.
