Raise your hand if your post-dinner plans usually involve you struggling to grab enough plastic wrap to cover all of your leftovers. Don't worry, we're raising our hands too. We just can't seem to understand how it always ends up stubbornly stuck in the box, refusing to come out. But luckily, there's a solution to this common problem, and it starts with the box.
Apparently, most brands designed their boxes to help alleviate this struggle. All you have to do is punch in the flaps on the side of the box where it says "secure roll." These cardboard flaps are designed to hold the roll in place as you tug it and prevent it from becoming a tangled mess.
Take a look:
But what about preventing your sheet from sticking after you get it out of the box? Easy. All you have to do is store it in the freezer or refrigerator. You see, this material contains a substance similar to gelatin, so the cool temperatures will help keep little problem this under control.
And once you've got the sheet out, help it stick better by wetting one of your fingers with water and running it across the surface or rim of your bowl. Then, lay your wrap on top and press down. The water paired with the gelatin-like ingredient makes it super sticky.
Suddenly, putting away leftovers just got so much easer — and tomorrow will be even tastier.
