How to use beeswax wraps? – simple guide
Beeswax wraps are a natural and reusable alternative to plastic cling film. But how do you actually use them?
Here’s a simple guide showing you how to use beeswax wraps in everyday life – step by step.
How beeswax wraps work
Beeswax wraps are fabric treated with beeswax. When you warm the wrap with your hands, it becomes soft and pliable, allowing it to be molded around food and bowls.
When the wrap cools, it retains its shape and seals tightly – just like plastic cling film, but without the plastic.
