after I read through this list I had to get a separate roll of Plastic Wrap so I could try out all of these interesting methods. I was really impressed on what I could do…
Why Didn't I Think Of This Before?
Check Them Out!
Controlled ripening: If you don't like your bananas mushy and sweet, slow them down by wrapping the stem, which emits the most ethylene, in plastic, essentially blocking much of the gas.
Decork wine: Simply wad up a length of plastic wrap, place it in a glass pitcher, pour the wine in and swirl. The claim: The polyethelyne in the wrap soaks up the TCA, so you can toss the tainted plastic and enjoy your drink.
Cut it out: It's nice to top a pie with some lovely decorative dough cutouts, but damn it's hard to make one without jagged edges. Whip out a sheet of plastic wrap and place loosely, but smoothly, over your dough. Gently press the cutters down to reveal neat cutouts with smooth, rounded edges.
Banish freezer burn: If, for some inexplicable reason, you keep ice cream around long enough for it to crystalize, keep it tasting better longer by simply pressing plastic wrap across the surface of the ice cream, then pop the lid on as usual, forming a barrier against taste invaders.
Poach a Perfect Egg: Use wrap to help achieve the flawlessly round egg of your Benedict dreams. Drape a few inches of it over a ramekin and grease with cooking spray or butter. (Make sure to push the wrap down into the ramekin a bit.) Crack an egg into the depression, gather the corners, twist and tie into a knot, then drop into simmering water. After five minutes, remove and reveal your perfectly poached egg.
~*~ Helpful Hint~*~
A Good Housekeeping Clinical Test found that it's safe to heat foods in Glad and Saran wraps. However, we wouldn't do this on a daily basis just to keep on the safe side.
