Cut to Size: Trim your beeswax wrap to fit the bowl, jar, or food item you want to cover.
Mold with Warm Hands: Use the warmth of your hands to soften and shape the wrap around the rim or directly on food.
Store: Place the wrapped item in the fridge or on the counter as appropriate.
Clean: Gently wash with cold water and mild soap—never hot water, as it can melt the wax coating.
Dry: Air dry completely before folding and storing your wraps for future use.
With proper care, beeswax wraps can last up to 100 uses, making them an excellent eco-friendly alternative.
Tips for Maximum Effectiveness
Beeswax Wraps: Ideal for wrapping fruits, vegetables, cheese, bread, or covering dry foods. Avoid wrapping raw meat or fish to prevent contamination.
Silicone Lids: Perfect for containers with liquids or wet leftovers, as they provide a tight, leak-proof seal.
Storage: Keep wraps away from direct heat or flames to preserve the wax coating.
Cleaning: Avoid dishwashers for beeswax wraps; silicone lids are dishwasher-safe.
What to Avoid
Do not microwave beeswax wraps as heat will melt the wax and damage the wrap.
Avoid using hot water for cleaning beeswax wraps to maintain their integrity.
Do not expose wraps to direct heat sources or open flames.
