    We've all experienced that moment - you put food aside after a meal and wrap the leftovers with cling film. It should be easy and quick to do. But it actually ends up with the foil sticking much stronger to itself than to the container…

    That's when most of us get terribly irritated and decide to throw it away for good. Just because it wasn't clear until now how to avoid food wrap sticking together. After all, it was easier to throw it away than to play with untangling and separating it from the other piece. However, this does not have to be the case at all. What's more, the solution to this problem is trivial.

    How to avoid sticking food wrap?

    Plastic film will work properly and roll and unroll as we want it to, if... it is stored in the refrigerator or freezer (especially the latter works super well here. However, keeping it in the refrigerator also makes things noticeably easier). So, instead of stashing the film in a drawer, put it in the midst of frozen food (and a cup of ice cream for a "rainy day" ), and it will be much easier for you to control and stick it to dishes and sandwiches. It couldn't be simpler, right? And yet few people know about this very useful trick.

    This trick not only shows you how to avoid sticking food wrap, but in addition has another advantage. Such food wrap is already very easy to tear off by sliding it out of the package.

    If you don't believe that it works, then perhaps you need to watch the short video promoting this trick on TikTok:

    You will use it in yet another non-obvious way....

    Food wrap can have a variety of uses. One of the non-obvious situations in which it works great is... a dressing for burned body areas (in the absence of something better, of course). In this case, it's also a good idea to put a piece of wet material over it for a cooling sensation. Food wrap does not stick to wounds. It is only important not to use the first few inches from the roll.
