How to use Food Wax Wraps
Our beeswax wraps and vegan wraps are easy to use and just as easy to care for. Follow these three simple steps to begin using your wraps:
X
- Open out your wax wrap, and flex and fold it to loosen it up. It may be a little stiff from being folded and sent out to you.
- Use the heat of your hands to fold and mould the wrap over, under, or around anything you want to cover.
- Use the heat of your hands to release the naturally adhesive self-sealing finish and seal to your bowl or dish, or to secure to itself to create a tight but breathable seal.

Our wraps are seriously versatile and useful, but there are just a few things you need to watch out for!
- Don’t use them with anything warm or hot! Whether that’s washing under warm water, putting in the oven or wrapping a dish that’s still hot, it will melt the wax straight off the wrap. If you do this, don’t panic! Find out everything you need to know about caring for and saving your wraps.
- Avoid all naked flames as wax is highly flammable!
- Don’t use them in the microwave.
- Do not use them with raw meat or fish, as cross contamination may occur on their next use.
- Avoid storing anything super acidic or oily in the wraps for too long as it will break down the wax and decrease their life.
- If your wraps are exposed to mould, re-pasteurise them using our electric oven method, or our iron method both described in our guide "Caring For Your Wax Wraps".
