Food wrapping film is considered an indispensable assistant for housewives in food preservation. In addition, it has many other benefits that you should not overlook.
Unexpected benefits of food wrapping film
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
If you don’t have time to put flowers in a vase, use a wet paper or cloth to wrap around the stem of the flower, then use food wrapping film to wrap it again. This way, the flowers will stay fresh until you have a chance to put them in a vase.

Tenderizing meat without stickiness
Before tenderizing meat, wrap it with food wrapping film. This way, the meat fibers that come apart won’t fly in all directions and your kitchen will always be clean.

Preventing cosmetic spills
Every time you travel, you often worry about how to store your cosmetics to prevent spills. Food wrapping film will solve this puzzle. First, open the cosmetic container, then use food wrapping film to wrap around the mouth of the bottle or jar and close the lid. This way, the cosmetics you pack in your suitcase will no longer spill out.

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.

The process is very simple: Use the film to wrap the plastic box tightly and then move it to wherever you want without worrying about the organized items getting mixed up.

Opening glass jar lids
You struggle, exert too much effort and time, but still cannot open a glass jar lid. Wrap a layer of food wrapping film around the outside of the lid and use your hand to twist it. The lid will be easier to open without your hand slipping.

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. Then, flies and mosquitoes will be attracted by the scent of the fruit and fly in through the small hole on the cup’s mouth.

Unclogging toilets
Use food wrapping film to cover the surface of the toilet, fix it with tape, then press the flush button. The pressure will cause the film to swell. After that, use your hand to press the film down to exert pressure, helping to flush away any clogged items inside the toilet.
