This stuff is new to me. Found some in the back of Mom's pantry. I
will say one thing: it keeps foods fresher better than Glad ClingWrap.

I often use diced onions and more than not, don't use the entire
onion. So, I wrap the remaining half in clingwrap and put it in the
butter compartment of the fridge. It begins drying out immediately,
no matter how well I wrap it, so I gotta use the remaining onion
within a day. I tried the same thing with PnS. Whoa! After 3 days,
the onion was as fresh as the day I peeled it. Interesting.

What on earth are you not doing that regular, cheap cling wrap
can't/won't do that?

Which may be the case. This is an old roll from yrs ago.

I love the Freezer version...you can press it against the food you want to freeze so NO air can get to it. I
portion cod servings in it and it works perfectly for me. I put the P and S wrapped portions into a
freezer bag all together, with the date written on the bag.

Ooh, there is a freeze version? Good to know because I really Press'nSeal and always have it on hand.

I use it mostly to cover a bowl, plate, pan that doesn't have a lid. It seals perfectly and the seal stays put.

I use Saran Wrap too. It's perfect to wrap up a leftover (hah, as if) corn on the cob, artichoke, etc.

My parents were big into that stuff. I don't know what the sticky stuff is
on it so for that reason, I try to avoid it.

Speaking of onions, I'd like to know who hacked mine to pieces! I had about
a 2" thick piece left from making the coleslaw and using a few slices for
salad. It was a pretty small onion. I was lazy so just wrapped it in
plastic wrap because somebody had left it out.

Went to retrieve it to slice it for a sandwich and someone had hacked away
at one side of it, rendering it useless for slices. They also used up the
rest of my tomato. Bah!

I find that a lot of that wrap just won't cling like they claim. I tend to
use foil more than that.

Good lord. You only live with two people. It can't be that difficult
to figure out. Here's a crazy thought: ask them!

Restaurant-grade plastic wrap still sticks great. You can buy it in small boxes like for regular home use,
or in 2000 foot rolls.

I buy it in 2000 foot rolls that are 18 inches wide, so it is more useful to cover party trays and things like
leftover pizza. But I cannot find a dispenser to mount on the wall, and using it on the counter has the
box moving around, so at the moment, mine isn't getting used much. ;-((. If anyone has a wall mounted
dispenser for the 18 inch wide stuff, I would surely like to know about it.

It's pretty easy to figure out. One never cooks and one just started.

Have you tried curtain rod type brackets with a dowel?

Shelf brackets have holes for bolts, but you get the idea above

I did. Both denied it.

You won't see me putting on pearls and heels. But hey! I am married and
have a kid. Seems that many here who love taking pot shots at me are not in
the same situation.

Oh, everybody did love my dinner tonight. And tomorrow? *Crossing fingers*
Going to try to take my mom to the taqueria. That place could be 5 times
the size and they'd still be packed. I wish they could get a bigger place.
Surely is a treat to dine there!
