                                                                                                 Instead of just covering the top of an open container or plate with a piece of wrap,

                                                                                                 here’s how to do it the better way:
                                                                                                 Cut a long piece of cling wrap, and place the item you want to cover on top of it, at
                                                                                                 about two thirds in. Pull the shorter side of the wrap tightly over the top, then do the
                                                                                                 same with the longer side.
                                                                                                 Fold the rest of the wrap under. If done properly, you should be able to turn the item

          Sometimes, Saran Wrap just wants to stick to itself instead of where you want it to,
          resulting in a sticky tangle of unusable plastic wrap. If you want your cling wrap to be
          a bit less clingy, store it in the freezer.
          Apparently, cold cling wrap is significantly less clingy than it is in its room temp form,
          making it easier to unroll and use.                                                    MIX FIX
