Everyone has cling film at home, but few people know how to store it properly. UAportal has prepared an article in which it shares interesting information about the use of plastic film.

Proper storage

Cling film is made of thin plastic that can be exposed to heat. Therefore, it should be stored in the refrigerator. After all, it will also make it easier to wrap food or leftovers later on.

Versatility of application

The practicality of cling film is not limited to covering food containers. Housewives can use it for various purposes around the house, making it versatile.

For example, when marinating meat or vegetables, wrap the ingredients tightly in cling film. This will create an airtight package that allows the flavors to penetrate better. As a result, your dish will be tastier and juicier.

Environmentally friendly alternatives

Although cling film is very convenient, it is one of the plastic products that is harmful to the environment.

Look for reusable and eco-friendly options. For example, an elastic beeswax wrap made from cotton impregnated with resin and jojoba oil. Another great option is durable and flexible silicone lids that ensure the tightness of containers while reducing the need for disposable cling film.
