Kathryn Lynch 7/24/2019 9:34 PMI wanted to share a good product for eliminating the need for single use plastic wrap/ Saran wrap . I was over at a friend's house, and she had these flexible wraps that are made out of beeswax and cloth, that can be wrapped around bowls or food items much like you would do with plastic wrap. The wraps are hand washable and reusable. Some brands work better than others (adhere and hold their shape better), but these worked really well and are available on Amazon. I wasn't able to purchase directly from the vendor's website. They are Urthologie Beeswax Wrap B-WRAP and this is what they look like.
