You will be surprised to know that food wrapping film can do many things, specifically:

Preserving bananas

If you are concerned that bananas will not stay fresh after you buy them, use food wrapping film to wrap tightly around the stem of the banana. It will keep the color vibrant and the taste as fresh as when you first bought them. However, you should only use the bananas a few days after they ripen to ensure their freshness and nutritional content.

Keeping flowers fresh

Quick boiling eggs

Place a piece of food wrapping film in a bowl and crack the egg into it, then tightly tie it into a bag and place it in boiling water. You will have perfectly boiled eggs that are fragrant and visually appealing without taking up much time.

However, this method should only be used when you are in a hurry, and should not be applied regularly as the nylon material of the food wrapping film can produce substances that are harmful to health when exposed to high temperatures.

Preventing cup spills

Cups without lids are prone to spilling when accidentally touched, causing inconvenience. To prevent this from happening, you can create a lid by wrapping food wrapping film around the rim of the cup. You should stretch the film and secure it around the rim of the cup, preventing the liquid inside from splashing out even if you rotate the cup.

Creating insect traps

Place sliced fruits in a cup and cover the mouth of the cup tightly with food wrapping film; use a spoon to poke a small hole in the film just big enough for insects to fly into.
