GOODBYE TO CLING FILM FROM: AMANDA GARDNER
I read ‘What can I use instead of cling film?’ [Mar, p126] with interest. I stopped using cling film over a year ago. The last remaining roll in my kitchen is almost untouched, except for the occasional wrapping of pastry to rest it in the fridge. I don’t bother with beeswax wraps, waxed paper or silicone bags as suggested in your article, and I rarely use foil either.
Leftovers go in endlessly reused Tupperware boxes, and I cover plates and bowls (containing, for example, my overnight oats) with another plate or upturned bowl. It seems to work perfectly for keeping the food fresh - and for those concerned about food hygiene, none of us has suffered any ill effects. I do like the cotton bowl covers by Spaza Home on p23 of the March issue, though - a great idea.
