Beeswax Wraps Guide

How to Use Beeswax Wraps:

• Wrap Food: Place the food in the center of the beeswax wrap and fold the edges inward to wrap it securely. Apply gentle pressure with your hands to seal the wrap around the food.

• Moldability: The beeswax in the wraps responds to the warmth of your hands, making them flexible and moldable. Shape them around food or containers for a secure fit.

• Replace Plastic Wrap: Use beeswax wraps as a sustainable alternative to plastic wrap for wrapping fruits, vegetables, cheeses, sandwiches, and more.

• Cleaning Beeswax Wraps: After use, clean the beeswax wraps with cold water and a mild soap. Avoid using hot water or harsh detergents that may damage the beeswax.

• Drying: Allow the beeswax wraps to air dry or gently pat them dry with a clean cloth. Ensure they are completely dry before storing them.

How to Maintain Beeswax Wraps:

• Avoid Excessive Heat: Beeswax wraps are not suitable for use with hot foods or exposure to high temperatures such as the oven or microwave.

• Proper Storage: Store beeswax wraps in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources or intense sunlight.

How to Refresh Beeswax:

• If your beeswax wraps become creased or lose their shape over time, you can refresh them by gently ironing between two sheets of parchment paper. This helps to redistribute the beeswax evenly and restore their effectiveness. Remember to use a low heat setting on your iron and avoid direct contact with the wraps to prevent damage. Once refreshed, allow the wraps to cool completely before use.

By following these instructions, you can maximize the effectiveness and lifespan of your beeswax wraps, while reducing your environmental footprint and contributing to a more sustainable lifestyle.
