How to use your Beeswax Wrap
Beeswax wraps are perfect for:
Covering bowls, plates and containers. The warmth of your hands and fingers soften the beeswax coating so that you can mould it to surfaces. For round bowls, create small pleats as you go around finishing off with cupping the side and pressing the wrap to the side for a few seconds with your hand. Fopr square rectangular containers, pleat at the corners or just scrunch the access wrap to itself and the container.
Wrapping Food The ingredients in our beeswax wrap formula are food grade standard therefore perfect for moulding around items such as bread, cakes, cheese, fruit and vegatables. Use the besswax wrap like gift wrapping paper to encase your food item using the warmth of your hands to stick to itself rather than tape.
