Plastic Wrap

i know..... why is she posting about plastic wrap?

It is one of those things. I can not stand bad plastic wrap. It drives me crazy. I have tried Saran wrap, Glad, the Target brand to name a few. And I have never found one that pleases me.  I know.... I should be shunning plastic wrap in lieu of Tupperware, storage containers. But I am a proud user of plastic wrap. It has endless uses.

So tonight when I clicked on my weekly newsletter from America's Test Kitchen I was OVERJOYED when I saw that they TESTED PLASTIC WRAP!!!!

My search is over, I know what the best is.
Now all I need to do is find it.

Lookee Lou.....

Many brands of plastic wrap clutter supermarket aisles these days. Are they all created equal? We bought five to find out.

Stretch-Tite, Saran Premium, Saran Cling Plus, Glad Cling Wrap, and Glad Press'n Seal all survived a microwave test and kept guacamole from turning brown for 72 hours. The real differences came when we tried using these wraps to cover bowls made of glass, metal, and plastic. The Glad Press'n Seal stuck to all three-but only if the bowls were perfectly dry. A glass bowl kept in a refrigerator for a few minutes gathered enough condensation to render the Press'n Seal useless. We consider this a fatal flaw.

The other four wraps performed equally well when used on metal or on glass. Plastic was another story. None of the wraps could cling to the plastic bowl. In every case we had to wind extra wrap around the first sheet. This is where Stretch-Tite really shines; the stickiest of all the wraps tested, it's also good at sticking to itself. Stretch-Tite is not as readily available as Saran or Glad products, but mail-ordering big 500-square-foot rolls is an option. Also look for these rolls at warehouse clubs.

Love it when they pick a brand that I already use - they have this at BJ's and it really does stick...just don't pull out a really long sheet at once or you'll be hopelessly tangled.
