Beeswax wraps can be folded around cooled food or shaped over the top of a bowl. Choose a size that gives you enough overlap and follow the instructions supplied with the product.
Use with cooled food
Wrap cooled baked goods, suitable snacks, or sandwiches, or cover a container for short-term storage. Use the warmth of your hands to soften the coating slightly, then fold and press it into position. Inspect food and follow its usual storage requirements.
Keep hot food away
Allow food to cool fully before using a waxed wrap or bread bag. Heat can soften or melt the coating. Do not microwave the wrap, put it in the dishwasher, or use it as an oven cover. Do not use it with raw meat or fish.
Care between uses
Gently wash in cool water with mild soap, rinse, and air dry completely. Store in a cool, dry place and inspect before each use. Rewax only a clean, suitable wrap according to its instructions.
Choose the right product
A flat wrap, a waxed bread bag, and an unwaxed fabric bowl cover have different uses and care needs. Compare dimensions and materials before ordering. Fabric bowl covers are not airtight or leakproof, and waxed products are sensitive to heat.
